    Re: What a Dummy

    LOL Colin...the one redeeming thing is it would be fairly easy to clone out and no one would ever know except us

    I've downloaded wide angle shots where my feet are in the image if that makes you feel any better...

    Dumb, dumb, dumb. No, just joking It might even be within an area that could be cropped off?

    Re: What a Dummy

    I probably would have spotted the bag in the viewfinder and been to lazy to go move it, I'll just Photoshop that out later.

    Colin I'm sure most on here will have had similar photography "senior moments" even the younger people

    At least your bloomer was easy to overcome, I once spent a whole Sunday (you couldn't fish on a Sunday then) travelling around the Kenmore area of Scotland with four friends. Getting them to pose much to their annoyance in front of various scenic places. Only to realise at the end of the day that I didn't have any film in the camera DOH! now that is being a Dummy

    Oh, that's disgraceful. Such sloppiness should not be tolerated.

    But the car was so integral to the scene Donald - you should have left it! All this time I thought you were a purist who never made mistakes...consider my bubble officially burst

    It's just that you don't normally see the mistakes!

    Re: What a Dummy

    At least you notice them before you present your images...I hate that "Duh!" moment when someone points out something obvious that I didn't see and then I can't stop seeing it!

    I took an image at a diagonal angle once thinking I could straighten it later, but it didn't work out so well...

    Much stronger image with that crop. A better all-around balance.

    Re: What a Dummy

    The crop works but in removing the offending bag it's just a shame that you have also lost a bit of the weather vane.
