Thanks for this post Joe, I am needing to have some repairs done to my 80-200 2.8 AFS and am told it will be a good while to get it done. I have not liked the newer Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR because I have just not seen a really sharp shot taken by those friends who has one. I never use VR anyway. I...

I would love to see others, I am in the market and that would help me a bunch. Great shot and with that combination lens light it is awesome.

Hey cool shots. My favorite subject.

Pretty cool isn't it. I will look forward to seeing others and if I can help let me know. Charles

This was right about the time the fires started. I am still new to California and was not sure where they were in relation(fires) to me but at times I could smell smoke and see it coming out. I think that is why I had such intense colors in these images. I will share a few others later today...

Before and After PP in Photo Here we go. For years, I have fought with the color cast(haze) in digital images, I had problems with my color printing with film since I did my own color processing for about 20 years. This in part was caused by color crossover when recording an image, not a true...

Jim shared a few of his nice shots of along hwy 1 between Big Sur and Carmel, this was my second trip. My last trip was in 2004 in September. It was foggy most of each driving day and I didn't take a lot of photos but this is probably nearer to the Hearst State Park. I had a great time and...

I will post one in a few minutes, I will post the steps in the morning for you. Here we go, I will share your first posted image and the one I worked on because you had not done much to it. These are pretty easy steps and I will share them one at a time on one of the images tomorrow. Here are...

Hey Jeff, I am new here and not sure of all the rules. I did take a look at a few of your images, they are actually exposed pretty good. It is very difficult to not blow out the highlights of the capping waves. If anything they are just a bit over exposed. With your permission, I will show...

David, I am working on redesigning my site, it should be up next month, I have tried to combine three sites into one. I didn't have many images on either site that were less than two years old. I have so much new stuff, I am planning on many galleries. Charles

I will share others later. I am having to upload them to my web site in a special folder to share them here. I am redesigning my site and will hopefully finish it in September. Dianne, I just moved from Texas to Southern California. I am not sure when I may do a workshop there in Texas yet but...

Here are a few others the first is a young Arabian Stallion. I have removed the background sue to the clutter. Even when people have these very expensive horses, they often don't have a great place to photograph them. The second one is one that was awarded second place in the American Horse...

Amber Show me an example and I will see if I can help you. I have been doing this a long time. The mane is the difficult part and i do it several different ways.

Dianne, I love to photograph Arabians but this one is an Andalusian Stallion, One of my favorite horses to photograph at liberty. They are so graceful and beautiful in their movement. I will share others later.

Brian, I did use PhotoShop to extract the horse and gradient for the background. The lighting on the horse was very early morning because he was so white. I shot several that day and the higher the sun the hotter a white horse gets as far as blowing out the highlights. The light came from low...

The horse was shot as a JPG during a workshop I put on for other equine photographers. I extracted the horse from the background and copied it to a new layer the added a gradient of the same dark blue on both ends with a lighter blue in the middle. The mane is the difficult part of the...

Hi Bert, Before I give advice, I would like assure you that I am only trying to help. I have been a professional equine photographer since 1989 and part time until 2001 when faced with some choices I decided that this filed was where I needed to focus my attention and talent on. I have only...

I will just add a little flavor to other comments. I have been able to shoot with all the lenses mentioned but would not trade at least for my work the 200-400, I would love to have the other lenses but they would be for more specific reasons . The 200-400 is on heck of a zoom. Using it wide...

I use the 200-400 Nikon lens a lot in my business. I would love the 600 f4 and the 400f2.8. Since this lens does have the zoom, it makes my work a little easier. \ I can't move around fast enough to follow a moving horse that is running freely(first image). The second image is a bit different...

I am learning how the forum works and this is my second post of an image. Being an equine photographer mostly, I do shoot a lot of other subjects as well and will share in other forums as I have time. This image has had the background removed and a new one applied. I am not sure if many here do...
