Great Spotted Woodpecker

Came across this woodpecker couple with "baby`s"
Realy pushing the iso on the D700 this time. (iso 5600 to 6400)
In picture # 4 you can see the beak from the baby bird being fed.
(Males have a crimson spot on the nape, which is absent in females birds).

Squirrel Time !

Was lucky and got a couple of shots of this squirrel, when it sat and posed for me :-)
Managed to get about 10 feet close.
love the iso performance from the D700 ! (No noise reduction is applied to the pictures)
As usual, click on the images to see them larger !

AMG E60 photoshoot

had a photoshoot with a AMG E60 last week. Finally finished with image editing.

With a 6-liter V8 engine, this is a pretty brutal car !
Yet another time I am challenged by a black car. This is especially challenging due to the black car reflects everything around it (like a mirror) This car had 9 layers of clear coat too, which made it really shiny.
The images from the first location are all multiple Polarization put together in photoshop, to eliminate reflections. I am satisfied with this location, and will definitely be used again when they fill water in the pond I took pictures from.

 These images are lightpainted with a fluorescent tube:

 Tested another location also. But because the snow has just melted, it is not directly beautifully outdoors now :-) So these pictures were not as good as I hoped :-(
The light was not so good, and changing all the time ...
