20120225 - Distant Stare

Not had much luck getting sheepies' attention today.
As for yesterday's pic looking like an old painting... well I know my trusty 5D is getting on a bit (for a digital camera anyway), but it's not that old ;o)

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
1/1600s f/3.5 at 160.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

The 'wistful' pose. You have your models trained very well. :)

Love the light, perfect on the dof

Looks a bit of a snob to me, so don't worry.
Super light.
:-)

Great focus in this shot. You live in a beautiful place :)

Sheepy has other things to look at. It makes you wonder what is so interesting. Beautifully composed with marvelous golden light.

Nice light and focus on the sheep! This one is consciously ignoring you!!

Great focus on the sheep.
Sorry, I was the one who mentioned old paintings. Meant it in a good way :-)
5D Mk111 should be out soon...

Great use of DOF and the composition is spot on. V
David Hobbs25-Feb-2012 23:26
The DOF here is especially effective. Top marks. V

Excellent with the shallow DOF

You've got some lovely light on this aloof grazer.

I think he has been on the front line too long, fending off photographers and he has a 1000 yard stare

a Kodak moment with this denizen of the dales...profile might well be preferable to an ovine gaze....V

Lovely landscape and a nice sheepy.

Great shot of the sheep and that great backgrond.
laine25-Feb-2012 19:19
Sheepy would rather look at the view...and why not!!

The sheep is too interested in the view to smile for a photo.
Looks like it's been a cracking day up your way.
