Peso: Prince in IR

[John Sessoms]

I'm finally beginning to look through the photos I've been taking this 
year including the ones from my recent trip.


Starting with something frivolous - my little buddy in IR, in his car 
seat on our first day on the road.


I was just messing around with the K20D I had converted. I don't really 
have the hang of it yet. Don't really know what's going to make a good 
IR subject.


Anyway ... https://flic.kr/p/2pecoPm

Oh no. That was several weeks ago. He might have been upset because I insisted 
on combing out all of the tangles at the time. But actually, I think that's just 
what his face looks like when he hasn't got so much hair you can't see his face.


All of his hair is about twice as long now as it was then.

He'll get used to this sooner or later.

Our cats don't bat an eyelid for thunderstorms. OTOH they hate fireworks.

There's a little park down the street from my house & he likes to hop up on the 
picnic table to be brushed & petted.


That morning I carried the camera with me to get photos to upload to the "Home

Actually there are a few that look a bit like that.  Lhaso apso come to 
mind.    If he is that size keep him away from the eagles.

It occurs to me, sir, that given the fact that relatively few people 
visited and even less photographed Antarctica, your photos become even 
more valuable.

Re: PESO: Prince of the Pond

[brooksdj]

 I shot this princely fellow yesterday 
during a 
walk in Bloomfield Hills 
 Nature Center. I used the *istD with the A 400/5.6 with an A2X-S 
 converter and the Sigma 500 super flash with the Kirk magnifier. I need 
 the magnifier with this rig even at fairly close range since the 
 biggest effective stop I can get is f11. The shutter speed was 1/1000. 
 Handheld of course. Note that only the princely head is above water. 
 The rest of the body is seen through the murky pond water.

Great shot Paul.

The lighting is just fine and the clours and catch light are pretty good.

RE: PESO: Prince of the Pond

Hi Paul
If you continue to come closer to those frogs we will soon see for sure
whether it is a prince or a princess.
On one side, I really like it, on the other side I think I will give up
doing something similar with my
equipment after having seen this nice one :-(

thanks for sharing it

Paul,

Have you performed any experiments with that gizmo to figure out whether 
you get the two extra stops that they claim?


I've been thinking about getting one. I've been in situations where it 
might have helped.

Nice shot Paul.

I assume that the Kirk magnifier is the Flash X-Tender?

Re: PESO: Prince of the Pond

[Paul Stenquist]

No experiments. But I've shot with it quite a bit in open sunlight at 
substantial range where the unaided flash is quite ineffective. It 
definitely focuses the beam, so I'm sure that there's quite a bit of 
gain over an unaided flash.

 biggest effective stop I can get is f11. The shutter
 speed was 1/1000. 
 Handheld of course. Note that only the princely head
 is above water. 
 The rest of the body is seen through the murky pond
 water.

Great shot, Paul.

Is there a more versatile photographer on this list?  You can shoot
anything, from ad layouts to cars to street stuff to macro to nature.

Amazing.

cheers,
frank

Nice shot Paul.

I assume that the Kirk magnifier is the Flash X-Tender?

Nice, Paul. Fellow looks pleased with himself.

Thanks Tom. Yep, the Flash X-Tender. I modified mine with a couple of 
extra pieces of velcro on the brackets. It's a nice solution for lenses 
longer than 300mm. Which means it will probably work fine with a 200mm 
lens (or longer) on the *istD.

If you have to be a frog, that's a grand frog to become. :-)
Great shot.

Paul, either you missed the focus somehow or the shutter speed wasn't 
fast enough even for your mighty handholding... It does not look very 
sharp to me...


Though, this Mr Pondscum definitely looks royal to me ;-)... You did 
capture ;-) him quite right.
