It's difficult to focus on yourself

[Rob MacKillop]

Ten-second delay, while I grabbed a baroque lute for a pose. I need an assistant...focus is out.



DP2Q.

Focus it out,...? Is it your left hand that disappoints?

The colors in this suggest a Renaissance painting. This is a cool picture, Rob.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Brian. The colours are okay. But everything seems a little oof to me. The rose, as it's called, in the centre of the lute - I would like to have got that in focus. Still, it's not a bad shot. Rhona's back for Christmas, so I'll offer her a wee sweetie if she can take a couple of shots.

 

[Dave Farnes]

Looks good to me, the subtle range of colours make it.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Dave.

Now you see - see it as a portrait and your eyes look spot-on to me and the less-than-perfect focus on the rose doesn't impact on me at all. A superb shot I think.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

A good shot, but why all this focus on yourself? Is it for promotional reasons in regard to your music? Nothing wrong with the focus as Pete mentions. Merry Christmas.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

It's a new lute, and I wanted to send the maker a shot of me playing it. He likes it.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

So did we.
