Took a Walk Today to See What I Could See

[Lava Lamp]

I shot these today with a D200 and Sigma 50-500mm lens on a monopid. All o fthem were shot at 500m and f/11 using the spot meter with shutter speeds of 1/320 to 1/400. The dragonfly was shot with an SB-800 flash and 1/60. ISO was 400. Please share your comments and crtiques, as you see fit. Thanks.

Lava - All Nice. You definitely have some skill there, shooting a moving object (3rd posting) so well with a 500mm lens... I would mess it up 100 times before I got it right (by accident).

The colors are unusual, all somewhat earthy (brown, grey, dark green, etc). maybe it's because that's what they were (duh). I was initially going to ask what type film you used, but one doesn't ask that question anymore these dayz....

I noticed that about the colors, too. It was an overcast sunny day at about 9:30 - 10:30 am, which may explain some of it. The colors are more or less accurate, if I remember right, but I'm new to the D200 adn one of my initial impressions is that the colors are a bit more muted than the D50 I had been using. I may have had "vibrant" on in the D50, though. I'll check when I get it back from my Mrs.
