Hey mate, thanks alot! I spent 10 minutes trying to find a crop that I felt worked... all the other shots were perfectly framed with the grass but this was the sharpest. Typical. I could have a go at cloning it out I guess.
If the bowling green wasn't absolutely sodden I would have laid down on it and took alot more shots... will see if I can find another one later on in the week to try again with as it's meant to be drying up I think.
Lower and closer... the camera was resting on the grass and was about 1" away from him...
Maybe if i had a proper macro lens i could have been closer, but for a little camera like the xf1 i was as close as it would focus. The whole of the shot was to include the grass along with the Snail.
I think thats a great one David - really shows the tortuous path that little chaps going to have to take, over what would be easy terrain for us lot.
Regards the top left.... going to stick my neck out and say it won;t clone out (not well anyway), crop it to the top of the blades of grass would be my approach. (Or leave it as is)
Ok i've had a go at editing the snail shot, just used the adjustment brush to put a little bit of green in the top corner to try and take your eye away from it. Any better?
The edit certainly makes the image better. Well done for getting so low. I know a couple of blades of grass are a little in the way but unless you followed the subject around with a pair of scissors you couldn't do anything about it It also makes it fit the nature theme all the more better.
I always tend to compose on the left for some reason but apparently the right hand side is more used as it's the way your brain reads a picture... hmmm... knew I was different to all the rest.
Thanks btw, the tamron 70-300 sp really does throw the BG's lovely.!
Thanks Andy. Yeah it is tight, I stood him on a fence lat and didn't want it in the pic so I had to crop to the edge unfortunately. I have a few others that I can have a reshoot with.
He's right you know.... It's essentially the same image as the first... but without the bold in your face stance, pose and crop, no starburst, he's nearly falling over and theres a bit of the ground missing on the right!
Not that spiderman is bad.. just that Captain America is great!
