I propped by flip flops against some rocks on the beach and pointed my camera upwards...the result ...well I think the result was quite nice...good rocks, a good sky and my errrr 'trendy' flip flops.
I notice that Kerri did not say your flip flops are gorgeous. LOL. Welcome back, Phil! What a gorgeous location for a vacay! I love the beiges against that clear blue sky.
Oh, this is lovely! I love how you've composed this and how the blue sky adds a fabulous backdrop to the sandy colours. I really like the low angle you've taken this from - it's great!!!
@gill Thanks Gill, I do try to get down low for a lot of my shots. I think a low shot makes for better lead in lines and a more dramatic shot. The picture was in effect shot 'blind' because I could not see the display , but the wide angle of the lens ensured most hings I wanted in the shot ended up in the shot !!! This is the type of shot you can do with a high end compact rather than a DSLR, because a DSLR would not let you get down quite so low so easily !!
@judithg Thanks Judith, the detail is indeed good, as for trendy flip flops, my daughter told me they were trendy 'bad boy' flip flops when I bought them...but that was a few years ago :) !!!!
@sparkle Thanks Juliette, I took a few pics of my flip flops on my hols, but this was my fave...and rest assured it is the only flip flop appearance you will see from our visit to Fuerteventura :)
I love your trendy shoes and the way you positioned them on the sand..makes me want to kick off my sandals and slide my toes through the sand..great shot!
Phil, thanks for that info ... a really useful tip. I can see how that would be ... so the thing is to ensure that a compact has a wide angle lens. Really helpful and a huge thanks!
@gill ahh Gill, but choosing a compact is such a difficult task !!!... so many to choose from, so many features, so many options, so may opinions.....good luck !!!!
