Strange things happen... by robz

Strange things happen...

My camera has limited settings that you can manipulate - so it's often a matter of tricking it into doing what you want it to do - and then keeping your fingers crossed. These two images were taken at the same time, same place with the same settings - but with a different POV.....
Hi Rob, I got your note about Macro. I don't have a macro lens for my D750 Nikon but I can get up pretty close but do extend the lens. ( Its 28-300 Nikon Lens) I use a tripod and shutter release too sometimes to stop any movement of camera shake. The flower object is up very close to my lens but I have to move back a bit to get the focus right. I check Im not under exposed but if I am It can be fixed in an editing programme. Only the four point and things in that plane will be in focus.Then I take it. Several sometimes to choose the best one. It is a tricky business and Im just learning and I really should get a dedicated Marco lens !

@fr1da LOL Frida - I'm such a chook! When I read your intro I thought it was some other sort of unknown (to me!) special technique you were practising. And reading what you have just said - it is indeed a very tricky technique - no wonder your close up images are always so lovely. I just use a Point and Shoot - so I'm claiming that as an excuse for being so dense!! Thanks for your explanation - it's so interesting to read about the details involved in producing your images. Cheers Rob

Light and physics could explain it!!!

Great idea to show how different an image can look depending on pov and settings - nice contrast

for your challenge how about holding your point and shoot on your head or at chest level - whichever you prefer - and taking a walk - every 20 steps take a pic and make a collage of the first 5 images.

Just goes to show the camera lies! Great fun to take two shots like this. Amazing how much difference the angle to the light can make.

@casablanca Hi Casablnca - thanks for having a look and taking the time to leave a comment. I hope this is a sign that you are feeling a little better and your back is responding to the pills and your enforced rest. Cheers Rob :)
