Jealousy (if its a male?) Expectation (if its a bitch ?)

:thinking: Now why do I suspect the spirit you mean is actually VERY liquid Chris - at least that would explain some of the duff shots :p

Please.... this was started as a serious thread for newcomers to this forum to illustrate that it is not always possible to get the perfect shot each and every time and to encourage them to post their shots to get valuable critique and insight from the experienced forum members. :exit: :D

Aww go on tell us. Pleeze.
I have visited a site on the west coast where a lady in victorian dress comes & sits beside you. She hasnae sat beside me yet:shrug:
 
"We" have only investigated one pub and that seems the "activity" was down to EMF
(electro magnetic fields) and the air con system.

An old court house c/w cells was interesting
Even when the data was analysed there was still "some reasonable doubt" ;)
 
that's great, I didn't know how to do it either cheers (y)

Dogs and there lipstick eh, beggers :LOL:

Ach well I will return to my west coast burial ground & look out to sea, while hoping the lady decides to come sit by me. I have a friend who swears she sat beside him.

Just remember to take some duff shots of that event then........
 
Come on guys, you're barely even trying here. I'm producing work of a far higher standard without effort. How about this little beauty

duffer.jpg


Note the bedraggled subject, the poor shot composition and the untidy tree that go to making the shot come together seemlessly. I confess that the overexposure by several stops was a happy accident and it has lent this image real impact, the horse and background merging neatly into one. I have ballsed up a bit I confess, somehow this hand held 1/8th of a second with non-IS has come out just about in focus, I will endeavour not to make the same mistake again.

You do have to wonder why I pressed the shutter, you really do.

Edit##
For those interested in the method here, it's essential to be shooting in Av mode and predominantly white subjects (snow scenes), with a +2 stop over exposure dialed in. You then expose for the black parts of the horse while forgetting about the over exposure you dialed in earlier, and it is VITAL that you don't chimp.

Good effort here - nearly a complete guide into what not to do - just that the mane is sort of sharp which prevents it being the definitive guide. :D

Only a standard to aspire to here :D
 
Nice day, bit of snow, took big dog out to try for some piccies. Let's start off with the posed shots first I think. OK:

First, she shuts her eyes...

Then loses a leg - at which point I give up on the bales and move on...
