Tricks of the trade my son and 4 years at college

Like the Sea eagle, the glass i was shooting through was filthy. The owl had chicken wire in front of his enclosure.
By holding the camera lens right up to them (and i mean touching) and focusing on a subject further away the object near the lens is so out of focus it becomes invisible.

all things to learn...wait to you get onto "depth of field" and "rule of thirds"

(please don't ask me to explain them tonight...i would like to get some sleep at some point! )

The nice thing with Digital is you can take a LOT.

I think nothing of taking 30 shots of a scene from different angles etc. I'll bin 29 of 'em when I get home but they cost me nothing!

Off topic i know Leon but refering back to one of my previous posts, I've decided that before we next meet you have to make at least two metres of cordage, using at least three different natural materials

I'm hoping we can get together either just before or just after my next trip up North

 

[leon-b]

do i have to make 3 lengths of cordage made out of different plants or can the 2metres be made out of 3 different plants
hope you understand me
when are you going away, your going to see the sami people and watch reindeer reacing arent you ?
