😀 the photo with the cows was done by someone behind us, sent to my iPhone and posted here...

What a lovely creature!

Judith, I think it is a dear. He passed at close range...

EDIT
Sorry, deer not dear ! 😂

Deepak James Norris ( Deepak Pate ) is a photographer and guide who operates mainly in Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve, Maharashtra state, India. I made his portrait while in a safari with him.

Later, I will be able to show more shots from the past two weeks !

[Cantab]

Both photos turned out well. For my money, the portrait is excellent.

What lens were you using on the tiger shot?

[Geoff F]

I agree; both very good images.

[Antonio Correia]

Thank you Bruce for commenting.
In both photos I was using the Sony 135mm f/1.8 coupled on a Sony A7III FF
Portrait @ f/1.8 ISO 500 1/320s focus on his eye
Tiger @ f/5.0 ISO 8.000 1/1.000s focus on head

24mm FF
I begin now to master the focus system of this camera !

[Antonio Correia]

I really don't know which I like best.
No, it was not with flash.

[Geoff F]

Looking good, Antonio, although I wonder about a little crop mostly from the right side of images #169/170/171 ?

[Antonio Correia]

Thank you Geoff for commenting !

You know Geoff how stubborn I am regarding the crop factor...
On the 169 I have intentionally left a bit of the left side but never thought cropping on the right. And why ? Because the sign on top and the frame on the bottom of the opening would be cut which doesn't please me.
All consequence of the crop factor, yes.

170 and 171 are two great photos of mines ! I do not really know which I like best... however, the bottom one has the brewer entirely visible what doesn't happen on the 170. A small detail.

It is incredible as the light - a simple bulb - has been so useful. Obviously. And no, no flash at all as told before.

I have another photograph of this very occasion which was a disaster. Let me show it to you.

I should have switched their positions but at the moment... I didn't think of it. I do not review my shots normally on camera but this time, I should have suspected that his shirt would be completely "burned".

The house was rather tight and the movements had to be carefully made so I could capture the images with as less distortions as possible because the lens is a moderate wide angle prime of 24mm

The house was immaculate. Everything was clean and ranged except a remote area.
But to finish this visit let me show you another gorgeous image I am proud of.

[Geoff F]

The last one is a tricky scene, Antonio, but you have managed to get the exposure just right. Bright but nothing over exposed.

Geoff, if "tricky scene" means that it was a difficult job to do, I can tell you that it was very easy and it required nothing special.
Now I tend to master the focus point - something I found to be very, very important if not crucial - and the reading of light was on entire screen.
The light was coming from the left and the Sun was shinning in late afternoon.

It is incredible how they use these beautiful colours inside their homes, isn't it ?
Cheers and thank you for commenting.

[Antonio Correia]

How do you guys like this ?

[Geoff F]

The tree is rather central but I think there is enough variation in the background for this scene to work.

You could try a crop from the top and right side but possibly you would lose more than you gained.

Thank you Geoff for your comment.

When I took the picture I was indeed thinking to crop it this way. You do know my stubbornness regarding the crop factor, on the other hand

I think it is the centrality of the tree completely out of the rules, that attracts me in the picture.

Today, with the picture bellow I end my past weeks of photos and, in spite of staying home I will try to make some shots.

[Antonio Correia]

Only yesterday we went out into the fields. With thread in mind, I made this simple but metaphorically suggestive photograph.
24mm @ f/1.4 - focus mastered !
