Testing my new toys

[luenny]

Hi,
Went for a shoot with Richard during the weekend to test my new toys. I must say it needs a little getting used to - especially the extra weight (ouch my aching hand). But I'm starting to get the hang of it. Anyway, if the wind would stop blowing I would have had more shots to show. Here are 2, don't know which one you like more.

Richard,
time to show yours.

the second looks better, in the sense that the flower stalk on the left isn't present. however, the verging lines of all the flower stalks tend to overpower the importance of the Lynx.

will be good if you include the settings for the shots

Settings:

1. 180mm + 2x, ISO 400, 1/30s, f16.0, EC +0.3, FEC -0.3, tripod, MLU
2. 180mm + 2x, ISO 400, 1/15s, f16.0, EC +1.0, FEC -1.0, tripod, MLU

should try go closer since got so much clutter in the environment.

I was hoping to preserve the legs so didn't try a closer shot. Anyway, the wind is a turnoff.

New trend to use odd ratios huh?
#02 cleaner.

Odd ratios? What do you mean?

Luenny,
nice compo, the flowers are a nice touch, instead of the plain leaf

Richard,
C'mon, show your shots to us. You have more shots than me and more species than me.
