plumage display

thanks – i’m wondering if these were higher in the sky with the windr helping give this great effect…
;)

grinning more here my friend… i was soo disappointed when i got home.. thought i hadnt a thing.. so much rubbish.. but i think when your eyes and ears are filled to bursting with these lovely sounds and images everything on a screen is a let down.. but am now really thrilled to have a couple of instants to look back on…. thanks again
:))

ooh it sooo was!! an hour long concert of top quality music by acclaimed choir and orchestra.. accompanied perfectly by a complex visual score.. superb doesnt cover it!

would have been so sick to come away with nothing .. but it was heaps trickier than i imagined.. the few that came out were all on the same setting so i know where to start next time.. hopefully!

yes they do have a touch of dried palm fronds dont they.. but ostrich feathers too.. I’m hoping now i’ve titled it…LOL

cheers my friend
:))

wow thanks so much – a really lucky shot
:))

hi tina.. i wish it had been as you describe.. but was really so random and lucky… . heaps didnt work.. but just kept clicking and hoping….LOL… and got a real surprise how it turned out!
cheers and thanks again
:))

thanks so much my friend – so glad you’re enjoying them.. :)))))

thanks sharon – as usual i thought i ‘d messed up and missed em all.. it took a bit of sifting thru to find these…cheers
:)

;))

:))

thanks heaps philip – i’ve put the details up on my other firework shots – it was quite a saga… but the few that came out well using a tripod were on f/8, 1sec, infinity focus, VR off, ISO100…..but hark at me – what do i know..LOL.. had just been swotting up on the net but it was a whole different ballgame fumbling in the dark with unfamiliar M for Mad settings…lol… delighted you like them

Cheers
maggie

am so happy you like them.. with the real thing fresh in my mind i thought i’d bombed out completely when i got home and looked.. but am now thrilled to have captured a handful of nanoseconds to savour.. just need to work on my output for next year in such an astonishing hourlong show…... lol….

:)))

wow lois.. thanks – they were the settings i’d researched f8, iso 100 and 1sec but in all my fumblings.. trying shutter and aperture priority auto and P (cos i was panicking by that time)..these were the only ones that came out.. so i reckon they’re even idiot proof enuf for me…LOL….
:))

grinning here.. think I may just have scraped a calendar so am chuffed to bits….and infinity focus and vr off.. quite proud of that too!! tho you should see my rubbish bin.. full to overflowing
LOL
:))
