weekly Nog's WK 52 Favourite shot 2023

[n1kcy]

Always a sucker for a dog shot or two. Beautiful images of very happy looking doggies.

Great photos! Hard to pick a favourite from this bunch, although I do like #3 and #4 particularly.

Thanks, yes I like the pic with the 2 of them

Beautiful images, nice work nailing the focus
#1 & 4 for me (not sure on the tie though )

Thanks, we agree on the tie

They all pop nicely with plenty of separation.
I think #2 for me though. All paws off the ground and filling the frame

Thanks, she will run all day. The other one will as well- if he is not too busy sniffing the countryside

Lovely set. I couldn't pick a favourite - I'd be happy with any of them.

Cheers

Those are truly wonderful shots Keith. I like them all.

Thanks

All great shots... I'd be hard pushed to pick a single one too. You must come home with a card full of images on every walk!

Hmm, yep full card and hit the x button on lightroom

Cracking set of dog images love them all, my favourite one is with both of them together.

Great running dog shots! They look like fast movers too. I've yet to get one of mine in that action pose i'm happy with. Your choice of light has helped a lot.

Love the one of him splashing through the water, and the one of the same dog against the green BG. (Other dog is lovely too)

Thanks, she loves the water and yes they are pretty quick. Had the shutter at 800 or 1000th but needs to be a little bit quicker I think

Week 16 connected

Get a few gliders around here so high hopes this week, just shows things don't always work out so bit of a PABD but they are connected

Great shots for the theme Keith.

 

[HelenC]

Interesting shots and a different take on the theme. I'd lean more to #3 as you can see the tow line more clearly.

Thanks, first time trying to get pictures of a plane. All a bit of a rush as hear the plane taking off then see it through the tree and then it’s gone

Thanks, just thought first pic was a bit more scenic

 

[Kell]

Great idea and nice composition.

We have tonnes of gliders around here but it never occurred to me to take any shots of them.

Cheers, TBH was in the garden putting the washing out when one came over and I thought that’ll do.

 

[seaodyssey]

fits the theme and I prefer the last of the 3 for the same reason as Helen.

 

[overbez]

As usual, when theres a "choice" of shots posted. I'd like a combination of all three!

The first I like the context of the tree line, the second has the best tow-plane view but the gliders wing is clipped, and the third has the best view of the swooped up wings of the glider.

Appreciate the difficulty in getting all aspects in the one shot.

Thanks, yes it was all a bit of a panic when I saw the plane through the trees.

By the time I figured out what to do, basically move further into the field to give me a bit more time, they had started to take off in a different direction. Not sure if due to wind direction or they were aiming to go to a different area or just to frustrate me.
Anyway next time connected comes up as a theme

Nice set of pix! Mr Spadger does it for me

 

[SimonH]

Got to love a cheeky starling! Nice set.

 

[overbez]

Chosen shot is great. Don't worry about clipping the other one. That's not important given the beauty of the flying away one with the wings outstretched and the lovely colours. Lovely shot.

 

[Peter123]

Good catch and well taken. I like your chosen shot.

 

[HelenC]

Some great detail in your chosen shot and an amusing capture.

What a cracking sky you have there Keith

What a cracking sky you have there Keith

It was a cracker of a sky that night, actual was much better than pic, it was pretty late and I missed most of it as I'd had a glass or two. Working out how to use the tripod was out of the question so ended up at 4 seconds leaning against patio door was a good night though.

Lol... there's quite a few times I've looked out with glass in hand and thought "interesting sky but can I be bothered?"

[Peter123]

I like this. Simple but very effective. Good background too.

 

[Baloo]

exactly wot Peter said.

 

[Boots]

Lovely!

 

[overbez]

The crop is the most interesting of the three. Quite impressive detail. Nice warm light on it too

 

[Fuji Dave]

Fragile is the sort of shot I hope to take, as the clocks are a fragile thing.

Thanks, background is the conifers towards the bottom of garden hiding the "wildish" area, I still want to get rid of them but she who must be obeyed says no

exactly wot Peter said.

Cheers

Lovely!

Thanks

Thanks, the 61mp certainly helps at times.

Thanks, I was quite surprised how much I could crop the pic.

 

[Darkslinger]

Beautiful shots Keith, I really like the tones and feel of your Distant shot and the close-up of the dandelion is excellent.

Thanks, I’m still not sure about the distant shot but the close up worked out quite well.
