The little albino, a photo from Beer Sheva, Southern

Photographer's Note

Isn't he sweet?
I took this near a Bedouin camp, right next to Zeelim.
You can see it was taken from a very low angle, and from a short distance. It took me a while to build confidence with these guys :)

Under-exposed with fill flash (SB800), to get that deep colours.

Take a look at "A Different Look At Israel" presentations

photo un peu surréaliste donné par le cadrage et la lumière, on dirait une BD. Bravo!

Hi Gilad.
EXCELLENT !
Il est trop drôle de petit mouton ;)
Cadrage, pov, gestion de l'exposition, le coup de flash....tout y est !
Une photo très joliment construite et gérée.
Bien joué

Wow Gilad, this is great and reminds me of something biblical or from the Neverending Story movie. Perfect saturation and DOF and I am most impressed with your perspective.

Well done mate.

Hi Gilad,
Very nice picture with a very difficlut light to handle. You handled it very well and the composition is perfect. Well done,

Beautiful!
I like the way you use the flash in your latest shots (I need to buy one!)
The clouds really help here along the beautifully illuminated goat's head.

You posted very good images from Beer Sheva, keep posting.

Hi Gilad
This is so cute. Looks really dopey eyed and with such long ears ! Excellent pov. Perfect position of the sun behind the cloud. Well exposed. I remember seeing the bigger sheep somewhere between Beer Sheva and Eilat. Very different from sheep here.

Nice composition and good light on the sheep. The clouds in the background match well as well. Compliments.

Hi Gilad,
He is so cute, with those big ears. And he is even posing for you, looking you straight in the eyes. Great shot!!!

Hey this one is cool! Kinda reminds me of David LaChapelle settings, also with the birght colours and the funky look on the animal's face. :)

Hi Gilad,
The expression on the face! So wonderful! And the clouds on the sky... loks like little sheeps.
Perfect point of view.

Great one...

He could be a very famous model!
:-)

Deep colours are good.

Had you also mount a polarizer ?

I love this photo. The white one looks like a puppet.

gardenwife (103) 2006-12-10 17:34

This is wonderful. The kid's frank stare, its quizzical expression, is wonderful. I like the angle from which you took it and the fill flash. Great picture!

...like a fairytail....

Selamlar.

Very creative. Good technical work around. I like the low POV, the close distance to this albino (well..almost). The fill flash also worked well, combined with the under exposure on the rest of the scene it's a pretty creative and interesting photo. A nice other view! Well done.
