Week 5 - Snapper's Choice

Limited opportunities this week, but caught the Penarth RNLI out on training manoeuvres on Sunday. Shot from Penarth pier.

I do know (from personal experience) that your subject is challenging - fast moving, often rather distant and surrounded by grey. But I think you need to get tighter for more impact. I think there is plenty of detail in your image for a crop.

Apologies for this, hope you don't mind, but you do say you allow editing of your images in your profile, so here is my effort:

Well caught, Simon. As Paul said, it is not an easy shot to take with a fast-moving subject and from a distance too.

Cheers Stan. One of those rare occasions when I had my 50-230 on instead of my 16-80!

Good work Simon! Love the lighting the first graffiti shot, the morning light shot is lovely and the lifeboat snapper's shot looks like you get 'cold' and 'morning light' bonus points too !

Nice shot Simon.

 

[BobBCN]

Very good, and I think the crop is a valid suggestion.

Thank you both!

It's a good shot, I probably wouldn't crop and much the second shot.
