It's okay, she has just had a great idea!
Damn Wendy. You beat me too it. I was going to say, That's one big idea she's got there. Great minds eh?!
hee hee a classic. I have seen people wearing lampshades before but this person looks like she has got an arm on the side of her head. :-) Otherwise, a very nice photo.
See, I'm not afraid to show my mistakes,too! I thought the statue in the background might look quite nice ... I just stood in the wrong place! I hesitate to call myself a 'professional', I just do it for a living - but it shows I'm as likely as anyone to get it very wrong!
Do you use a digital camera and what is the secret of taking such sharp photos?
Yes, I have a Canon D20, upgraded in June when my last camera with flash unit attached committed hari kari.
It's 8megapixel memory which helps make the picture sharper for bigger pictures but I have a selection of Canon lens and they're good.
Less expensive fancy schmancy cameras can produce sharp pictures though.
I actually post fairly low quality pix on here as a rule .. they load faster.
You may find in photographic software a feature to sharpen the picture and I do use this, too.
Often a picture submitted to me, for forwarding, benefits from a sharpening.
OH yes ..... a good stance when taking the photograph helps!! If you wobble you're more likely to get a slightly out of focus picture. Tuck your elbows in tightly and take a breath, then click. In fact I find the smaller cameras more difficult to hold steady!
Mine stepladder is in the boot of my car, together with my green ankle wellie boots and a tweed hat. I think I've worn the hat once. Oh yes, there's also half a dozen bottles of water, an umbrella and a seaside beach tent. I was thinking about getting a reflective jacket now winter's coming on. Nothing like being prepared!
I think this subject deserves its own post! I'll do it.
