I have passed this little farm for years but have never stopped even last year when I was really going nuts with pictures. (Yea yea still going nuts) They have a little store so I told myself this year I'm going and finding out if they would mind me taking some pictures. They were so nice and the owner(farmer) stopped working twice to chat with me. The first time coming over with a bucket of food to draw all the sheep and lambs from the field to the fence for me. It was a stampede once they all saw the bucket. I'll put that shot in my extras album. They also have free range chickens which followed the farmer everywhere and goats. I bought some of their fresh eggs and I'm looking forward to seeing if there's a difference in taste. The black lambs are so cute but those shots mostly came out like silhouettes. Any suggestions on how to photograph totally black lambs?
@lesip LOL! for just a moment I was looking for the "lamp" but then I figured it out! I am sure someone with much more knowledge and experience than I will have a better suggestion for you!
Cute little characters!
I don't know which program you're using, but in photoshop elements there's a tool called shadows/highlights that you can use to brighten dark areas without affecting the light areas. Maybe you can try that?
This is such a great shot, Leslie. How wonderful of the owner to help you capture this photo. Sounds like a really nice man. As far as black animals, it is difficult. I have photographed and followed one black duck "Daffy" for over a year at the park and have several good shots of him. It is hard to capture detail and their eyes. I can say, take a lot of photos and if that does not work try for some sun in their eyes or total shade. You may want to zoom in on the black ones as you may get more detail that way. Good luck.
thanks gals..
thanks for dropping by ...
