I would also add to the other critiques is that it would have been better to move him well away from the door so that the main focus was on him and the door blurred into the background.
I like the idea, next time I will try that. I was limited for space as there as a canal behind my back foot so I was limited on how far I could step back but will try to remember this for the next photos.
Thanks for all your feedback,
I am using a Canon Eos 200D with a 24mm f2.8 in this shot. It was shot at ISO1000 24mm f2.8 1/1000 - I was shooting in Av
My son was directly next to the door so I didn't get any background blur. My understanding is, if I bought him closer to the camera I should have achieved a blurred background, is that right?
I am slowly trying to learn photoshop to be able to do this kind of thing, will post if I ever manager to make a good image of it. My first few attempts have resulted in his face blurring slightly where I remove the bolt.
It's not - you don't.Thanks les that's great.... I really need to get better at Photoshop
I agree it's best to get it right in camera, but it only looks unconvincing to a photographer.It's not - you don't.
It doesn't look convincing - there's no way of making it look convincing - except shooting it properly.
I disagree - whilst a half decent photographer can tell you 'why' it doesn't look right - the man on the street can spot something that looks 'wrong', even if they can't articulate it - and his mum will like it? that's a fairly low bar.I agree it's best to get it right in camera, but it only looks unconvincing to a photographer.
I'm sure his mum will like it.
If you say so....and his mum will like it? that's a fairly low bar.
Your crop is too tight : you've lost the three-rivet pattern on the left board, for no reason.
It's better without the bolt at the head and the crack removed, but it looks odd with the blurry background now. I'd have left the door in focus.A simple 5 mins in Photoshop- No substitute for getting it right in Camera though.
Is this the sort of shot you were looking to get?

So you agree with meIt's better without the bolt at the head and the crack removed, but it looks odd with the blurry background now. I'd have left the door in focus.
Yeah, lol.So you agree with me
