I don't know much about the technical aspects of photography, but they look beautiful to me.

"Would I buy these pics to use them for serious work?"

First pic: Not quite sharp enough
Second pic: Impossible to separate from the background
Third pic: Bad lighting, impossible to separate
Fourth pic: Way too much light on the elephant's forehead
Fifth pic: Technically alright
Sixth pic: Bad lighting, left side is too dark, right side is too bright
Seventh: Technically alright
Eighth: Bad lighting, too dark

"Impossible" means "not possible within reasonable amounts of time/effort"

Apart from that I'd never buy them because they're absolutely boring shots. Throw those fuckers some peanuts next time.

Excellent shots Dek :up:

I'm not a photographer. I'm just saying why I wouldn't buy them. From the perspective of someone who has used stock photography before for work.
Maybe he's perfectly fine with that because he's only doing it as a hobby.

I don't need to be an engineer to judge a car, toaster or computer either.


Edit: But I'm sure your "EXCELLENT BUDDY THUMBS WAYYY UP" comment helped him a lot more.

I would have tried to get more of the eagle's body, but other than that they're fine... I dont think dekard was asking if you'd buy them. The giraffe is the best IMO, although I might have cropped it just a little bit on the right to get rid of the wall or whatever it is

Nice shots. Is the 1st one slightly blured? From your exif for it:

Camera Make: Canon
Camera Model: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT
Image Date: 2006:02:26 05:04:41
Flash Used: No
Focal Length: 190.0mm
CCD Width: 5.14mm
Exposure Time: 0.020 s (1/50)
Aperture: f/5.0
ISO equiv: 400
White Balance: Auto
Metering Mode: Matrix
Exposure: Action program (based towards fast shutter speed)



That lens (from google- if I have the right one) can do f/4. Using f/4 would let more light in, so you can decrease the shutter speed to take the shot quicker. (the more light you let in, the lesser shutter speed you need, the lower the light, the longer the shutter).

(btw I've been reading loads about cameras as i'm looking at a DSLR myself :p)

Actually, F4 would have given him an even lower DOF, which is why the pic is blurry from just behind the parrots eye to where its body is cut off in the pic. F4 would also haven't as been as sharp as F5.

oh and the lens he's using has a variable f-stop, so by 190mm, the max aperture is F5, not F4

The shots aren't that bad, but the main problem for me isn't the technical issues - its the fact that your subject is pretty much centered on all the images. Anyone can buy a decent camera and make normally ordinary shots look crisp - but if you don't have the eye for what works, they're always going to be average at best.

Is this San Diego zoo?

And when you say you use the 70-300mm lens, are you talking about the DO one?

Yea, aside from the first one I think they all look pretty good on a technical level. The main thing you should focus on now is more interesting composition.

Here's some picture of monkeys I took at the San Diego zoo (70-300mm DO IS etc) ... it was late in the day so it was all shadowy.

lols.. nice file name on the first one


oh, and I found out that if you apply a high contrast USM to the DO pics, you get much better detail.. just do a USM in PS with 20%, 50 px and 0 threshold

Maybe.. but it depends on if you're looking at the bird as just a bird, or if you're trying to imagine some meaning behind the bird

Parrot and Eagle look the best to me but all look good.

If you enjoy the pictures you take and have fun doing it that's all that matters


*Nikon coolpix885 is what I use*
