Cheers your Majesty!

One of the shots from my days duty acting as photographer to the village celebrations in Greywell. The winners of the best dressed couple cracking open the first bottle of bubbly!!

Leica M9 + 35mm Leica Summilux M f1:1.4. ISO 160, 1/2000s at f1:4.9. PP in LR4, Nik ColorFX 2 and PS.

That's some great timing that!
Looks like she can't wait for a swig or two.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Dan. Shutter released at the pop. Great thing about RFs, virtually no shutter lag (no mirror to swing out of the way and no AF).

 

[Brian Moore]

Yeah, great timing on that, Pete.

Looks like she can't wait for a swig or two.

I don't blame her, Dan. I'd need a few before I put one of them hats on!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Now that's an action shot - nicely done Pete

hope you got a drop or three even though you were on duty?

 

[Hamish Gill]

That is some spot on timing there!
For a split second I thought the chap was prince Philip

 

[Pete Askew]

There's a passing resemblance isn't there! Not the greatest of images but I was pleased where the cork ended up. There was too much clutter around. Same for many of the shots even wide open but hopefully I can make a set of about 120 for the village to use in the hall. I'll post some more when I've been through them more thoroughly. Just in the process of updating my Nik software - it was all refreshed on the 3rd June (free updates) then I will start sorting and editing I think.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Wow, you can see the air escaping from the bottle. Very good shot.

 

[Garry Lee]

A corking great shot, or an uncorking great shot?

Garry Lee from Cork, appropriately..

 

[Lesley Jones]

That's a great image Pete and the guy in the background seems to add rather than detract. Perfect timing and wonderful expressions!
