*OFFICIAL* Snapshot of the Day (one image per post please) #1

The1 · 05-09-2011, 07:05 PM

I did it!!! I made a "hexfecta"

the first picture i was debating if i wanted to add it or not, but i think it paints the picture as you can see the "Dexter" starting to enter the frame.

I believe his plan was to land a little higher up, then launch himself over the log. I a series of images of him making that work, so i've assumed that's what he was going for again.... But the wet paws and the early jump made for this image and 5-7 minutes of laughter.... And maybe some crying from laughing so had.

the last image is the last one i took because i saw what was happening and stopped shooting and chased after the dog to make sure he was ok.... And yes.... He was perfectly happy and kept going. He's built to take impacts.

sorry, i killed some of the quality because i made it too small, then stretched the small image about 200pixels more, so it's not as crisp and clear anymore, but you still get the point

LOL, was worth the wait. If only you had waited 1/100th of a second for that first photo and gotten more of the nose.

The1 · 05-09-2011, 07:12 PM

I tryed counting it out, i just got ahead of myself

the reason i left that one in is because i really wanted to demonstrate how far this little dog attempted to jump from. We were thinking he was a good 3 feet in the air, but started about 9-10 feet back... it was pretty phenomenal to watch.

I'm put together his proper jump so people can see a properly executed version of this.

Weebl · 05-09-2011, 07:16 PM

Get the lens lower ~ bottom of the jump if you are going to use the same log again.

The1 · 05-09-2011, 07:18 PM

sadly, this will probably be the last photoshot with this dog, me and the ex aren't really talking anymore, so i likely won't see this dog again.

he was a good muse.

The1 · 05-09-2011, 07:27 PM

here's what he was attempting to do, at least what i figure he was trying for.

Weebl · 05-09-2011, 07:30 PM

That would make a nice triptych. What is that in the last one in front of the dogs nose? Sailboat?

The1 · 05-09-2011, 07:31 PM

no, it's a strangely shapped light house at the end of a pier, should have pulled it out of the picture in photoshop... oh well, i'm just playing anyhow.

Found this bumble bee on the sponge in my car-washing bucket a couple days ago. I helped him out and snapped some pics. Macro is a completely different world than I'm used to. Such a narrow DOF. This shot was at F/11, I believe. Probably should have tried to stop down further using flash, or attempted to focus-stack:

These guys are all over the place around Denver at this time of year, but I finally got the classic pose of the bird straddling two branches. The light was pretty strong, so I couldn't quite get the feather detail that I wanted, but it works as is, I think.

looks like he's got a lot to say to you. Another great shot Dave.

These guys come in a month or so before the females and make their call every few seconds for weeks. They put a lot of energy into it and I'm amazed that they have any energy left for sex when the ladies arrive.
