This was originally a shot with my Hasselblad of a bright blue shy and a very white cloud plus some trees. I had to shoot higher in order to avoid acrs and people. As you can see it doesn't look like I just described. I used PS and I messed about with the colours.
Glad I was already in my car before the heavens opened. It went incredibly dark, but it didn't last for very long, and the sun was soon out again.
I mostly shoot in colour keep in mind that I will make a black-and-white shot out of it.
A white Bengal tiger living in a rescue and endangered species area. They also breed endangered species where possible and any rescues are returned to their natural habitat if possible.
As we were planning our shoot, Iria said she needed a swimwear look. I wanted lifestyle with my car. We compromised. I think it turned out great. Hope you like it.

Hello Collin, I am wondering which model camera and which lens and what were your settings. Thank you for sharing your experiments.
ISO 400, 1/640, F16, Hasselblad X2D ii100c, 75 3.4P This was the original.
Thank you Sir. I am one of "those people" who like the Exif, even though I don't know the lighting, I find insight into the mind of the photographer as to why the settings to accomplish the final image.
I shoot purely by instinct. I somehow manage to buy the right equipment and lenses for me. I love to experiment, not much into rules, not pixel peeper but I love to see the work of others. Some blow me away and others I just bypass. I never ever make cruel or sarcastic or trash other people's work. The closest I have come to a critique is suggesting to 3 people that their name is such a position that it ruin s the photo. I found that very hard to do but the pictures were so good it was worth the risk I might get abuse back. I have just come back from a famous garden about 10miles away. The original 1700s wall still surrounds it. I too one camera, a full spectrum Sony A7RIVA and just one lens, a Zeiss Batis 40 CF. I am now going to see them and edit them. This reply is fat too long. I am rambling. Get the most out of each day as it arrives.
I find all art is very personal and learned a long time ago that the only opinion that counts is your own.
If others ask for my help I offer what would make an image more appealing to my OWN taste, and follow by stating that my opinion does not matter unless it falls in line with something they may have missed themselves.
Well my own opinion is 'WTF did I post this?' I can't delete it now because of the comments. Had it not received any I would have removed it. The two attached I am pleased with and are properIF photos taken with a Full Spectrum Sony A7RIVA and a Zeiss Batis 40 CF. The whole shoot at the gardens was an experiment because I gave myself no choice by taking just one camera and one lens and on 550nm filter over the sensor
Wow, that's quite a radical take and I love your unique perspective.
Hi Alan-I am not sure if these words are about the photograph or about my reply to Dean.
They were in response to your original post Colin. I am all in favor of experimentation and pushing boundaries.
