Atherton & District Amateur Photographic Society

Let's have a picture from everyone who went?

Here's my first shot of the day:

I only took one portrait besides the one I took of Mark and this is it......

Here Mark....

Hi John - This one has me puzzled a bit. Is he one of those 'human statues'?

Hi Tracey - The woman has stunning eyes. Good capture. It's a good shot of Mark and I like the BW treatment. Maybe crop an inch off his right shoulder to remove the camera bag strap?

Hi Alasdair - Good effort, however I'd have liked to see more of the boat/scenery. Decide what it is that you're photographing - either the boat as the main focal point, or the scenery in the background with the boat as foreground interest. Put yourself in the best position for either and don't be afraid to crouch down and move around to get the best view.

Thanks for posting.

Yes, my picture is of a human statue. The background blends with him, making it a bit confusing, but that's what I liked about it. He was on a bike and when you paid him he cycled madly for a few moments before becoming a statue again.

Thanks Paul, I see what you mean about cropping out the strap. Looks much better now
