shaggy1969 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Farm worker carrying bundles of sugar cane. The strength and stamina of the Thai people never ceases to surprise me. The sugar cane bundles this man is carrying are around 4 meters long and weigh around 40 kilos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Rob,have been trying recently to capture people in natural poses, especially the farmers working. Not as easy as I thought though,the buggers won't stay still Sometimes it's better to wait for them to take a short rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob8891 Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 ^^ It's a genre I want to get into, but find it very difficult. Landscapes are so much easier....they sit still. I've been trying too...and got a few on the last trip, and will keep plugging away at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Goomps, I think someone's having a poke about the number of posts we make.... Though I must admit, there is a part of me that misses playing with B&W in the darkroom. Would I go back to it?

Nah...no pokies here lads. Just that...well...back in those old daze I spent heaps of money on processing until I learned to process my own B & W then later colour, then I spent more! We won't talk about Durst enlargers & lenses & other required stuff...it seems so ancient these days. But it's still fun if one has the facility!

Lex Talionis Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 This is the shot that got away. Can't tell you how much dandruff I've lost over this major fail. Only had a second... a little further back, a longer focal length, and my autofocus doing its job maybe? $%&!*#!. When you're fishing, the one that got away lives in memory, only getting bigger & better as time goes on. In photography, there it is, staring you in the face, the failure forever fixed in pixels. Time to break out that tackle box maybe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshine51 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) ^^^ Lex....When I do street stuff I turn the AF off...too many pix in too soft focus. If it still happens in manual...then I go have a few beers & call it a day 'cause after a few Sings the only thing that improves is the buzz! BTW...without knowing what camera/lens combo you're using mostly, have you ever tried calibrating the AF...camera to lens? It really does help heaps. Google for it...info is out there.
