Just a different angle

I was hoping to get a portfolio picture out of this one,  We'll see after I get an enlargement of the pic printed up..  This was shot with a Nikon d3200,  A 55-200 lens with an extension ring.  The reason for the extension ring was to get in a touch closer to the fish and still retain focus.  The light source was diffused window light, on the right and a silver reflector on the left to fill in.  I used a manual setting for the exposure.  with bracketing. 

Here is another pic of the same Salmon but from a different angle.  Every thing stayed the same except the lens...... I went to a 18-55 lens.  Same lighting etc.

FACEBOOK

Today we just pulled all of our photographs off of FACEBOOK.  They have in there info section or wherever it is.  A clause that states in short that they have the right to use any of our photographs of anything that is posted And use it in their OR Third party advertising.  So to make a long story shorter,  they can use your pictures of you or your family anyway they want...... and there is nothing that you can do about it........  So don't look for us on FaceBook.  I will keep a personal page on there but that's it.  I hope that this is helpful in some way.

Here is a link to the article.

A possible menu cover

© by Michael Long 2013

I just got a new camera body to work with.  I got a Nikon d3200 with 24.1 megapixels  which is a bunch of pixels.  Anyway,  This started off as a test shoot on the camera,.  And it came out so well that I may use it in my portfolio,  as a menu cover.  But we'll see about that and how that goes.

This was done without booze,  but with Lemon-aide and fake ice crystals.  or chunks.  The lighting came from the right side through a diffuser.  There is NO reflector on the left.  The floor of counter top was a fake marble or slate tile.  Actually it was Lino peel and stick tile.  And a black card for the background.  The lime twist was the only real thing in the picture,  And probably the hardest to make and get to curl like I wanted.  So there you go.  a Menu cover for a bar.
