Walking through the grass (wedding)

[Dan Cattermole]

Doing this on my iphone again, wife hogging the Laptop, tut. Okay, these upcoming shots are a bit of a hit and miss (only stated that as you can see there is plenty of room for practice needed with the focusing) the composure and the idea in mind was there, and pretty much as I has in mind. However, the focusing I could really kick myself over!! I only had a ONE chance at this due to timing reasons beyond my control. I used my OM 50mm f/1.8 lens which is manual focus. okay, im not blaming my circumstances, sun in the eyes, small viewfinder, moving subject etc....... No, I wouldn't do that :/ lol.
I know I could of done better typically afterwards, however when I gave the images to the client they absolutely loved these ones as they where described as having a 'soft' feel to them. Im not putting myself down with this, I'm trying to keep that attitude in the past, but more, trying to project myself/style/technique as "real photographer" even if criticism is immanent. anyway, I yacking on too much, Enjoy!!

Now those are very nice Dan. That first one has such a hot summers afternoon look about it. You can almost hear the grasshoppers!!

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Hahaha!!! You know, I saw something move amongst the grass along the lines of a rodent, although the photos would of been pretty comical if I had revealed. Lol. Thanks pete, I'm going to post another picture in the next few minutes, and it's spuare crop!! Lol

Nice Dan, Great idea and works really well especially with the low autumn sun on a clear day.

those are spot on mate!
Really really nice ...
Like Jim the other day with his blured cyclist, if you had just said the focus was intentional ... or not said anything, i would have assumed any softness was intentional!!

Thanks guys.
It was quite difficult at the time, but come to think about now, it was only a minor error..... But, contributed to a more pleasing result that suited right for the mood I think. Thanks guys.
