African Hornbill - A shot from the past!

One from a few years back that I thought would be worth reposting.

Nikon F801s, Tamron 100-300 zoom, Fuji Superia 200.

Would this qualify as "Low Key"?

Waterfall at the National Botanical Gardens - Pretoria, South Africa last pic... for now.

The hardest part with long exposure waterfall shots like this is keeping the highlights from blowing out. It came out ok... ish.

Waterfall at the National Botanical Gardens - Pretoria, South Africa part two.

Who couldn't love the Nikon 50mm f1.8D "Nifty Fifty"?

For the price I don't think there is a lens to beat this one anywhere on the planet! (Canon's "nifty fifty" is a hair's breadth away from being it's equal with only it's plastic mount letting it down.)

Nikon D90, Nikon 50mm f1.8, natural light, f2.8, 1/320s.

U looking at ME?

Ellie with attitude. Soft box someplace to camera left fitted with a 500w Elinchrom.

Death and Decay are part of the natural order of things.
