Focus is indeed centred, I wanted the whole scene to be sharp but the phone doesn't have the ability to dial in large F Stop numbers . Again, only having a digital zoom doesn't allow for closing in on any forground interest without sacrificing pixels at a rate of knots so my choice was to go for an overall scene with the beach as a leading line into the distance For a shot from a phone I'm moderately pleased with it but agree entirely with what your saying, 'Tis why I shall be revisiting armed with my usual kit at some point in the future

Looks a great bit of editing viewing it on my phone Paul

A little better Jeff. But it won't make a wall poster

Postcard size would be okay
I'll try my hand at a better one in the near future, here's a picture taken from Harwich Pier overlooking Felixstowe docks using my Dslr. Ros is sitting on the bench acting as my subject No comments on this one ?

I had a stab at editing this one. Not sure it is better but it is a little different.
I am not a fan of portrait style of view (just my taste) but in this case I see no other option. Maybe gone back a bit further and got the whole of the bench in shot, I am not sure that would look better Maybe back a bit further is off the edge Edit: maybe a slight amount of flash? I seem to want Ros to be lighter. (careful with replies) Last edited by Rocket; 8th March 2016 at 16:43.. |

A bit further would have been getting wet indeed Could have changed glass of course but that would have involved effort ! I would have had to use off camera flash for fill as I was a bit of a distance, I could have done so as my trusty old 7D has wireless Flash firing. My new 1D mk4 doesn't but my second speedlite takes care of that now Ros does lighten up well doesn't she The only thing I would say is that lightning the photo has lost a little bit of detail in the wood grain of the boards . As you say, a bit of fill flash on Ros would have solved that. Problem being there is Ros hates her photo being taken and wasn't aware that I had, strategic placing of the speedlite may have given the game away

If I think I want to try and take a pic and I want to control all aspects of the picture then I take my bags. But for fun walking around, no. That's one reason I got the Sony - so I can go places with just a small camera. Of course you then limit what you can do, I agree about the boards. Last edited by Rocket; 8th March 2016 at 17:02.. |

I just snuck a quick crafty shot of Ros when I spun the camera round
