Stroll at the agricultural fair

[bje07]

For a week Paris has its agricultural fair, I got wandered a few hours there.
Not easy to take pictures without fences, without the audience. But with a few PP I succeeded.
ISO auto was nice to take pictures without flash. Fuji X-T1 gives nice pictures noiseless until 6400 ISO.

C&C welcomed.

Nice set Jean. Beautifully sharp. Which lens were you using?

[skitterbug]

A neat idea to go to the fair for interesting photos. I particularly favor #3 because I used to have goats. They are sweet creatures and easy to care for. I agree with John 2, these are crisp and clear! Well done!

Nice series.

[Wavelength]

Lovely ones; is there a yellow color cast in #3?

The color balance on some of these images appears to be off. The image of the bull or steer appears like it was shot using daylight color balance while it was actually in some other color light such as tungsten. I don"t know what the animal like but, I suspect that this is a bit closer to the original...



I suspect that this might just have been shot in JPEG. Color balance is just one of the reasons for shooting in RAW (there are many other advantages). It is far easier to correct an image shot in RAW than one shot in JPEG.

As stated above they are crisp, sharp and nice composition . I have to agree with Richard that the color balance seems off a little and pic three seems to need some adjusting concerning the color/tones. Nice series .

Nice series Jean I agree with other members about fixing the WB.

Thank you John.
I used the 16-55 mm f/2.8 Fuji on my X-T 1

Thank you Sandy and John
No Nandakumar, color is right.
Richard your bull is sick
Mine was color honey
It's a Raw file processed in LR then in Photoshop to eliminate all undesirable stuff.
Thank you Binnur and Raymond for commenting.

If you prefer, I propose a Monochrome version of my bull

[IzzieK]

Others had already mentioned the colour casts on #1 and #3 so I won't mention it anymore. Suffice to say, I agree you must have a good time while going around to shoot. A few nits, but they are OK and can be fixed.

Thank you Issie for your passage.

Jean, just my two cents worth. The B&W is the best. I am always right, except when I'm not.
Cheers Ole

Thanks Ole

+1 to Ole

[bje07]

Thank you Binnur.

[Dave Humphries]

Thank you Dave.

I got some information on it.

His name is Hatenon.
He was born on 20 March 2012 and today is a beautiful baby of 1.608 kg
He won this year's championship recall
This is the highest distinction. It means that this animal had already been crowned champion last year. As it is not possible to be champion two years in a row, the championship recall is an even more prestigious award.
