Hawk-Shot Flash Comparison...
Alright all you Monday Morning Hawk-Snappers...
I appreciate those of you who took the time to actually think about this, and allow for the possibility that the guy on the scene might have some insight that is otherwise unavailable when simply viewing after-the-fact on-screen. For those who still doubt...I've put up one of two fairly crappy shots...together with one of the "flashed" shots. The only thing lacking in this comparison is the NUMBER of hot-spots on the bird in the nearly-no-flash shot. It got much worse..because by the time I was up the tree, the light and his position had changed so that he was splattered with kind of hot-spot I circled in the crappy shot. This gives a very good idea of the light that was there. The example is NEARLY a non-flash shot, because it was almost entirely ambient light (as you can see from the LACK of flash shadowing). The shot itself is blurry, but for this comparison, that's irrelevant. I scribbled notes all over these images to point out some things- -Hope you can decipher... Here it is: http://www.pbase.com/markuson/image/66829130/original Contrary to those who claimed I'd "ruined" something with flash... Well...you'll figure it out. For those with a slow connection, simply click "large" beneath the image while it's loading...for a smaller version. For those who didn't see the Hawk shots, they are found here (below a few other misc. critters): http://www.pbase.com/markuson/wild_critters -MarkČ -- Images (Plus Snaps & Grabs) by MarkČ at: www.pbase.com/markuson |

even number says... Contrary to those who claimed I'd "ruined" something with flash... Well...you'll figure it out. It's all about technique, old boy. Spot metering and post production would help you with those highlights. I do think that perhaps the Canon flash system is partly to blame here. It always appears to be very obvious when using i_TTL that a flash was used, whereas a certain other brand works a lot better! ;-) -- www.nikongear.com September Challenge prize is $50 B&H GiftCard |
