pauledell Posted September 8, 2013 Share #2 Posted September 8, 2013 Marc, Both versions are excellent. The cropped version is a good indicator as to the quality of the lens and the camera for the lack of image degradation. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

k-hawinkler Posted September 8, 2013 Share #5 Posted September 8, 2013 Marc, Great shot! Are those pigs domesticated or feral? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_dufour Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share #6 Posted September 8, 2013 Karl & Karl! Thank you so much! These pigs are domesticated, genuine sybarite, and produce the best ham you could taste Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northwest Wanderer Posted September 8, 2013 Share #7 Posted September 8, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Nice images Marc. It's nice to see the pigs are free to wander some and not confined to pens. Maybe that's part of reason why the ham is so good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
platypus Posted September 9, 2013 Share #8 Posted September 9, 2013 Really interesting...and nice to see the piggies so happy before they become ham. That is a terrific crop! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc_dufour Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share #10 Posted September 9, 2013 Bill, Dee, Stuart, Thank you so much! Really these pigs are privileged; they live in natural environment, the "dehesas", great cork oaks plantations; they eat exclusively acorns along many months, etc. Their ham is so also special thanks to the iberian breed, and to be cured between 2 and 3 years in the micoclimate of the region (as in other parts of Spain). After taste this ham and other products, it's hard to eat other ones Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iduna Posted September 9, 2013 Share #11 Posted September 9, 2013 Marc, thanks for this interesting series. The first one is not only interesting because of the story but also as a picture: the composition and lighting where you mastered all shades of dark against harsh light. The second one is the proof that this combo works very well . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_dufour Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share #12 Posted September 9, 2013 Iduna, Thanks a lot! I'm often surprised myself, when openning for the first time the images taken with this combo. I should like my own eyes were as good and accurate The scene also were a surprise, in this case; he pigs seemt really happy, gamboling, playing in the water or just resting. A bucolic scene I didn't expect Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
