jaapv Posted December 6, 2009 Share #2 Posted December 6, 2009 Very dramatic, excellent B&W conversion, slight niggle about the horizon cutting the giraffe in two... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicamann Posted December 6, 2009 Share #3 Posted December 6, 2009 Very dramatic, excellent B&W conversion, slight niggle about the horizon cutting the giraffe in two... Tell me ... in those circumstances how in Gods name are you going to get the horizon line NOT dissecting the giraffe in two? Of course if you have that famous balloon backpack..no problem..but most people don't carry these on their African Safari. I agree, very dramatic shot Thanks for sharing Cheers, JRM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted December 6, 2009 Share #4 Posted December 6, 2009 I too know all about it. Sometimes getting out of the vehicle and getting real low works Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicamann Posted December 6, 2009 Share #5 Posted December 6, 2009 Hmm..giraffes spook easily...and how about a black mamba on the ground ?? To get the horizon off, 18ft...you'd have to be at the giraffes feet:mad: Cheers, JRM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMB Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted December 6, 2009 I take the point that it would have been nicer without the horizon cutting the giraffe in two. But as you may know, in Etosha you are not allowed to leave the vehicle, not to leave the designed roads. I have a version of the same shot toned, which actually looks better. Unfortunately, the conversion to sRGB turned it all redish, at least on my monitor, so I did not dare to present it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted December 6, 2009 Share #8 Posted December 6, 2009 Nice, but I prefer the first shot despite my minor critique Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMB Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share #9 Posted December 6, 2009 Nice, but I prefer the first shot despite my minor critique Me too. The second was just to show what happens when one gets close . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted December 6, 2009 Share #10 Posted December 6, 2009 Beautiful, and you've captured all the good things about Etosha and none of the bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted December 7, 2009 Share #11 Posted December 7, 2009 The first is a spectacular picture with great composition (as you said, perspective could not be controlled), lovely tones and sky as well as sharpness. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
