I’d love a Banana Daiquiri about now…
I’m “reposing” for the moment with photography and posting. I certainly haven’t lost interest as I’m reading and working out the kinks with some post-processing experimentation but it hasn’t developed to this point into anything worthy of sharing.
I’ve also been feeding my geek gadget needs with the new laptop and integrating it into my workflow. Then I’ve got a couple of home projects I need to get completed. So, all good things in their time.
The photos of the gorillas are from the North Carolina Zoo. I love watching and photographing the ape/chimpanzee family because their actions, movements and poses are often so human like. Both of these images were taken through not-so-clean safety glass but I managed to remove most of the slight haze without losing too much clarity. When shooting through glass I constantly keep reminding myself of positioning and reflection control. If lucky I can get close enough to the glass to eliminate most of the worst reflections, but that’s not always the case.
Before I made these photos I stood and watched someone with a high-end D-SLR shooting through the glass from several feet back using the on-camera flash. I wonder what results they got? ;-)
