Some dolphin shots I took today at Dolphinarium

^^
After seeing these shots, I gotta get over to the shed aquarium in Chicago. Nice job

Do that. Who doesn't love dolphins? Except some ^%$&%
They are magnificent mammals, I've seen them many times in various occasions, including their natural environment, but it was my first time that I had a chance to shoot them properly even under these circumstances (in a dolphinarium)
Oh and thanks

Sorry for going a little off topic but they are wonderful mammals indeed. I remember as a kid at a waterpark behind the scenes when the "show" was over one of them swam up to me with a bit of wood in its mouth. The dolphin wanted me to throw the wood and when I did it'd swim and retrieve it like a dog would a ball.

It wouldn't do the same though if an adult threw the wood though.

Darkwand that is a fantastic shot, very warm tones but have you done a version with straightened vertical lines?

Shed is much tougher because it's indoors and with the windows behind the dolphins, they're back-lit.

A couple randoms from a couple weeks ago.

Recently started taking pictures of smoke from incense sticks. This can get a little addicting.

Incense stick for the smoke. Reflector to the left of the camera. Flash with wireless trigger to the right of the camera. Black backdrop (approx 3 ft from incense stick). Kinda hard to explain but I found a few youtube videos which is how I learned to do this. After a few hours this is just a sample of the results I was able to achieve.

From today at Lock & Dam 14 using 7D + 300 f/4L + Kenko 1.4 TC
