Not all subjects lend themselves to the up-close-and-personal treatment that this lens offers, and I'm still trying to figure out where to draw the line. I think I may have crossed it on this last one.

Up close and personal...mama's got a brand new lens
Getting close enough to my animals to take pictures has never been a problem. But I've got this plan stuck in my head to find the wild horses that roam south of here, and for that I will need a longer lens. So I bought one and have been messing with it.

Awesome close-ups, although it does seem Smooch is not too thrilled with this ... HA! I do detect a smile/smirk from Wynonna, and her close-up shows us that she simply enjoys life .. yep the mud on her nose gives that away. Whatta gal!!!
ReplyDeleteHow could you ever even consider not getting up close and personal with Wynonna. She's so photogenic and adorable, just look at the expression on her face.
ReplyDeleteI laughed out loud, some good photos and I'm so glad you zoomed in on that last one :)
ReplyDeleteLook! Wynonna is actually smiling in this one.
ReplyDeleteReally, really nice. Everyone of them is worthy of your great frames. I guess I didn't realize Wynonna could smile.
ReplyDeleteI love it! All your animals are so photogenic.
ReplyDeletegosh, i just LOVE your animals. they are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks for cheering me up - I'm wallowing in the flu and seeing George and Alan share a stick and Wynonna smiling at me and Smooch being so smooch-like makes me feel so much better. Can't wait for the wild horse photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great new toy, I can't wait to see the fabulous wild horse shots you are going to take with it! :-)
ReplyDeleteJust when I think your photography can't get any better...look at you now!!! Beautiful shots and I'm really looking forward to some wild horse ones.
ReplyDeleteWynonna is just in her element...so cute!
GREAT pics!!
ReplyDeleteI loved Wynonna's picture :)
TRacey
The shots with the new lens look great. What lens did you get? Good luck shooting.
ReplyDeleteRanchette, the lens is a
ReplyDeleteNikon 55-200 4/5.6G EDIF AF-S DX VR.
I'll still have to get pretty close to any wild horse I plan to shoot, but it's a start.
Oh, I think Wynonna is the cutest!
ReplyDeleteHey! Careful, there. That's my BFF you're dissing.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing some amazing photos of wild horses here.
All your critters are ready for their close-ups! And I can't wait to see the wild horses.
ReplyDeleteOh, who couldn't love that sweet smile, dirty nose and all!!
ReplyDeleteWynonna seems to enjoy up close and personal!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely not - Winona is just as beautiful as the other models in her own unique way :) Beautiful photos as always, your models area all so photogenic. Enjoy your new lens, I look forward to seeing more of the results.
ReplyDeleteThose are great, event the last one (you're welcome, Winona!) I really want a camera with a better zoom...it's nothing short of a necessity when filming animals! I'm getting really close to getting my new camera....at least I have the funds now, I'm just afraid to make the commitment!
ReplyDeleteI love the shot of Wynonna. She seems to be saying, "This is as good as it gets today! Take it or leave it."
ReplyDeleteWhat line? I didn't see you cross the line? I wonder if your long lense can capture me all the way over here. I can be a bit wild.
ReplyDeleteNorwood
You didn't cross the line. She's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a great lens! And you took some pretty fantastyk photos!!
ReplyDeleteI just found your blog on PW and I just love all of your pictures!
