An old one I quite like - No 1 Reservoir Mangahao River - Circa 1965 - a good example of why flooding bush for hydro is not popular today

I am quite proud of this photo that I took when I was 25 years old, and freelancing as a advertising and illustrative photographer.

I was commissioned to take this magazine cover by the British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC), on behalf of Heygates, and it was the only shooting related magazine cover that I ever did.
I planned and visualised this photo before the shoot, (which I did for all my magazine covers), thus saving a lot of time.
The focus had to be on the dogs, with a human presence to emphasize that they were gundogs.
I used a Zenza Bronica SQ with a 50mm wide angle lens. The wide angle lens meant that I could make the dogs disproportionally larger than Jim, the guy with the gun.
The dogs owner stood behind me on a bank, and I instructed Jim to point the gun over the dog owners head, so that there is a convergence of focus, ie to make the dogs look like they are tracking a bird.
I made sure that Jim's face was covered, because he was a human presence only. Also, I took a light reading, then reduced the exposure by half a stop, and used a hand-held flash to lift the exposure of the dogs, to give them further emphasis.
I used an orange graduated filter to add a little warmth and to darken the top of the photo to give extra contrast to the typography.
The photo was taken on 120 Fujichrome transparancy film.
It is a totally fabricated photo, but everyone got a woody, and I got paid, which was nice. Incidentally, this photo was taken on the shoot that I was a part-time keeper on, and taken at easter. There was heaps of snow left over from the winter, but I manage to find one spot where I could position myself to hide any snow.
Nice work - makes it all seem far to easy these days with photoshop etc!
Back in the Prado days, now Hilux's, not quite the same!!!

I don't know if I would agree with that. I personally feel it's just lifted the bar way higher. From a technical (note - not compositional) viewpoint there is now a huge gap between a 'RAW' photograph and one with post processing. But even with plugins and presets - there still needs to be an understanding of why you are doing something and a vision of what the end result is meant to be.
Yep fair point - maybe its just a different skillset needed now.
Yeah. I started in a B&W Lightroom - mixing chemicals - don't miss that bit. Though the smell did kinda grow on you... ;)
Herc flew past the other day when i was taking some softball photos. I love the props and the cloud going through them
Attachment 35351
Definitely agree on that. What was your shutter speed to stop the props like that?
1/2000 . Unfortunately it was early morning so couldn't afford to speed it up much more. Love those planes
