Wray Scarecrows ( First Time Photos! )

Post by Phil Jones »

Hi all.

Time I posted some photos for your perusal. These were taken at the Wray Scarecrow Festival on the first Bank Holiday.
Any comments or advice would be much appreciated.

Good ones Phil. Good colours, contrast and sharpness. 8)

You just need to take a few seconds before you press the shutter to fully appreciate what's in your viewfinder, for example chopping the top of the Mrs T's hat off and the top of the church.

It's great to see you enjoying your new hobby.

It would be nice to see a lot more people posting images and commenting on them in this forum. :??

and I'm still there on occasions much to the annoyance given all the reading etc I do. Best way to learn is to get out there and shoot pictures :)

Like the shots as they're different to the norm. I had to do a second take after Pauls Mrs T comment, thought it said Mr T and I was looking for a Mr T scarecrow hehe :D
