Challenge: Branch (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM
Location: Paignton Zoo, Desert Enclosure
Date: Sep 3, 2005
Aperture: F8
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/60

Date Uploaded: Sep 5, 2005

Paignton Zoo, Desert enclosure.

Couldn't believe my eyes to see all those Guinea Pigs sitting on a hairy palm. Almost submitted a considerably more boring tree photo, but decided at the last minute that this pic is "branchy" enough to get away with.

Shot hand-held, indoors, at 235mm with a shutter speed of 1/60. Damn I'm glad I bought the IS version!

This is branch, I guess....Interesting subject, maybe if the pigs were lined up more neatly the picture would be more intriguing.

What are they sitting on? Good colour, interesting shot.

I don't see relevance to challenge
09/09/2005 11:24:51 AM
I don't see the branchness...

This does not seem like a branch, so your title should have helped me with your thinking. (if they are on a branch I've never seen one like it!) I would like more contrast between the pigs and the background.

interesting.

What the heck are they sitting on? It looks like a hair covered log?
09/07/2005 08:50:06 PM
I guess they are on a sort of tree thing but I am not sure I get the branch theme.
09/07/2005 05:27:49 PM
oh, they're on a branch. took me a little bit.

really unsure of how this meets challenge. I like their arrangement but I think the POV and DOF could have been better.

I'm not sure if this really could be considered as a branch. Anyway, the photo in itelsf is quite interesting although the focus only seems to be on the second and third guinea pig. It would have been great to see all five in perfect focus. Adjust your DOF and this will be a greater image :)
