  • Spectacle

    I'm slowly sifting through photos from our recent trip to Hong Kong and Thailand. Here's one that could have been better (the intrusion to the left and the over-tight framing) but I just had to capture the moment with a compact I had to hand. 5 seconds later and the person at the bottom right had moved on.



    Feedback very welcome!

      Interesting comment

      As the frame was too tight, to get the spectacle frame and the person in I could not crop and the vertical was out, so I simply rotated the whole frame to correct the vertical.

        I realise you wouldn't have had the time, but it looks like one of those spots that would have been worth 'staking out' for 'something' to happen.

          Oh, absolutely - and no doubt I wasn't the first

            It's good to know that people who really know what they are doing, shoot first and think afterwards.

                We have had a couple of these types of photograph in our club competitions recently. One won a first but I can't remember how the other did, but it was high.

                They were both good.

                I think a bit of post processing would have helped here, but not sure what you could have done about the lights which are distracting. The people on the left need cloning out.

                All in all Ian, I think the idea is good but as DTD says, it's a pity you couldn't stake it out.

                It's the ideas that count and ever since the pics have been used in our club, I have been looking at billboards!
