I went out with my photo club members to learn about portraiture from a fantastic photog and a friend. I had to sneak in a duck shot and a shot of the underwater vegetation while he was setting up. I almost never give up a chance of shooting random stuff and in fact these were the only shots I took of these because I noticed this duck all sleepy and it was being spun around with the water current (see the ripples around it by enlarging the photo)
Since I don't post people shots without their permission, I will have to wait to get it, so I can post a couple of shots from the lesson. We were basically learning how to bounce off light from one reflector to another to create a soft fill light as well as use another reflector to get a hair light. Excellent lesson - can't wait to try it out for myself sometime soon.
But for now, here's something different! I did very little post-processing on these and I'm really surprised to see how well the colours have turned out. The sky was very blue and the slanting rays of the sun actually hit the plants underwater and I was able to get a good shot without a C-PL.
Oh, the duck is cute with sleeping on the water. All your photos are very good this week.
