Advertisement Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 Hi dan_drabek, Take a look here Chasing birds . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Artichoke Posted March 17, 2007 Share #2 Posted March 17, 2007 the first really caught my eye on first viewing, but I may actually prefer the second, though it lacks the dramatic capture of the first that wistful look of the dog & your perfect composition work to elevate the second photograph fine captures both I am jealous:) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
old.ghost Posted March 17, 2007 Share #3 Posted March 17, 2007 Indeed, both are equally enjoyable in their own way. The light makes it hard to distinguish between land, sea and sky... which really sends the eye to the silhouetted subjects. They look like photos that were fun to take!

billh Posted March 17, 2007 Share #5 Posted March 17, 2007 Dan, those are outstanding photos! The action and the mods they convey is superb! Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted March 17, 2007 Share #6 Posted March 17, 2007 The second one is world class, Dan. Superb work - really nice to see you posting again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted March 17, 2007 Share #7 Posted March 17, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) I love them both, Dan. They communicate serenity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LichMD Posted March 17, 2007 Share #8 Posted March 17, 2007 I agree the dynamic nature of the first really catches the eye, but the quiet waiting of the second is huge. Well seen and captured! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_drabek Posted March 17, 2007 Author Share #9 Posted March 17, 2007 Thank you all for your kind words. I wasn't planning on shooting that day, but drove past the beach and knew it was the kind of light that the D1 enjoys. So I took the camera on a little walk and got lucky with the dog.

jonathangraham Posted March 18, 2007 Share #10 Posted March 18, 2007 Superb catches. I like them both for difference reasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkness30 Posted March 18, 2007 Share #11 Posted March 18, 2007 Daniel, these are all wonderful images. I would hang the second one on my wall, simply great tonality, composition and simplicity. Hatts off. Regards, Mehmet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambroving Posted March 18, 2007 Share #12 Posted March 18, 2007 DD, Like the first one. Pull that D1 out more often! Will be in Ojai from Wednesday to Saturday this week to be "reprogrammed". What should I pack? It's -2 C here in NJ with ice and snow everywhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzo Posted March 18, 2007 Share #13 Posted March 18, 2007 Two very well seen and captured images. Really nice quality Dan. Azzo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Van der Herten Posted March 18, 2007 Share #14 Posted March 18, 2007 Marvellous compositions, light, tonality, subject matter. It's hard to make a choice, so I vote for both. Nice to see you posting again, Dan. Dirk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted March 18, 2007 Share #15 Posted March 18, 2007 Dan, That first one is really good, imho. I find the human/dog overlap in #2 compromises the shot somewhat. in #1 the position in which you have caught the dog in mid-leap and the splashes from it's feet are really effective. Great atmospheric conditions too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_drabek Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share #16 Posted March 18, 2007 Thanks again for all the additional comments. They are much appreciated. William, our forecast in Santa Cruz from Wednesday on is sunny and upper '60's. Ojai should be similar--maybe a few degrees warmer during the day. I think you'll enjoy the trip.

stuny Posted March 20, 2007 Share #18 Posted March 20, 2007 DD - When you return you really return! So many fine images in such a short space of time. These are superb, and all the more so for their nearly monochome glow. Excellent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamilsukun Posted March 20, 2007 Share #20 Posted March 20, 2007 I would hang the second one on my wall.Mehmet Daniel, I agree with Mehmet Bey. I would hang the second one on my wall.
