Experimenting with aperture adjustments in Edinburgh today

[Rob MacKillop]

Hamish has got me away from using the Scenes on my Canon G10, and I spent some time walking Edinburgh this afternoon using the Av position on the dial.

Some rubbish here, but some maybe worth a look. Please feel free to offer constructive criticism:

No 19 particularly stands out for me.

Number 14 for me. What happened to that guitar in #3 Rob? Looks like Willie Nelson's been strumming it for a few years.

Nothing wrong with the guitar - that's a 'brownburst' varnish which is difficult to photograph well.

Thanks for the comments. I didn't spend much time at all setting up the shots, as you can tell. The purpose of the trip was to explore using different aperture settings, something I hadn't done before. Well, I definitely learned something, and will hopefully use it more wisely in the future. This site is helping me already. Many thanks.

That's amazing,...I thought for sure that lovely archtop guitar had a bloody big hole in it. (Which I couldnae understand to be honest.) Turns oot its a reflection!

Ah, reflections - I just don't have the equipment to get rid of them when photographing guitars.
