Camera Labs

Went out for a walk in a nearby nature's reserve about an hour by public transport. I'll post some other pictures of the day in the Natural landscape section.

A sheep and it's lamb:

PS: you can still see the umbellical cord


Another sheep and its lamb:


Hope you like em!

(constructive) criticism always welcome!

Hey Paukl,

like Thomas I think the first shot is very good. You captured that moment well.

For the second one: let's just say that I can't point any fingers, because I recently posted a picture on my own dog, showing it's derriere.

Them lambs are sure cute though!

Cheers

We get some lambs and sheep as well over here, been waiting for them to come out so i could snaps some shots!

Image 1: Really nice

Image 2: Dirty old sheep

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the kind replies I really like #1 the best myself too. I initially only turned it into black and white to conceal those plastic thingies they have in their ears, but I do think it adds something to the picture as well...

Whoa, I've just seen the EXIF data on the first one: 300mm on a four-thirds being equivalent to 600mm F/5.6
At 1/200sec, handheld I assume
Nice demonstration of the Oly-power

True, I'm very impressed with the image stabilisation of my little buddy. This picture was taken lying down though, so my elbows were supported by the ground. That helps too

Yes, We have babies here in England too. We went to a farm for what they call lambing sunday and seen one be born. I know these are not great pictures, but I like them.



They don't come any younger than this...

I love that first picture Paukl, the moment is felt, very nice.

as for the rogersjt, nice pics of the newbies, I do have a weak stomach, not a hunter, or a raiser, wow

Great pics Paukl! I really like the first one. I think the second would look better if the lamb was alone but I guess that can't be helped.
