Unsuccessfully Chasing the eclipse a the beach in Scheveningen
« on: August 22, 2017, 01:32:12 »
This evening I was hoping to catch a bit of the eclipse on the beach but the clouds weren't friendly to me.
Nevertheless, there were a lot of surfers floating about offering inspiration.

Hmmmmmm .... I am totally eclipsed by your footage. Great shots, but "off topic" ... ROTFL!

Jakov, these blurry images tells us how much you lose the light.   ;D

Frank and Akira, what can I say the eclipse escaped me so the only thing that I could do is make some blurry images with what was in front of me :)
D750 and 300PF are a nice combo!
Thanks!

Eclipse in Scheveningen was so cool Jakov.  :)
I love the shot with surfer's legs.

Thanks, Anirban! I did have a great time with a friend of mine. Disappointed of not catching the partial eclipse of course...

Armando and Erik, thank you so much! Feet it is :)

In the evening my friend Miljan and I met with another friend Dejo, and we three Montenegrins, went for some jazz to a place called The Crazy Goat.
The eclipse of the night was Alkistis Labropoulou a lovely young jazz singer.
Since the D750 and the 300PF were at my disposal I made a few tight portraits (not her feet though).

Thank you!

Strongly agree - a beautifully balanced image of a beautiful young woman.  Well done Jakov.

Those are very sharp portraits Jakov. What happened?   ::)
Love the way you framed them and your PP.

Dear Anirban, thank you so much!
I had no choice but to frame tightly in a cramp jazz bar with a 300mm lens. So sorry I didn't have the 135DC, I would have had a bit more room for maneuvering  and making them blurry :)
