Occasionally when I show people my images on my iPhone, I am asked if I took the photos with the iPhone.

I really should start answering in the affirmative...

I have taken plenty of photos like that one!!! as for one of the other comments made by Ezookiel - quote "yeah, it's not like I had much to do with it "
in my case it's true!!! at this stage I am having very little to do with the photo coz all I am doing at this stage is pushing the shutter button. I have played with the control dial and fiddled with different settings but if I really want to get a half decent pic of the thing I am pointing the camera at, my safety gauge is called "auto"
Better start concentrating on reading those lessons I subscribed to about 12 months ago.
Just wish I had more time to really get stuck in!!

Nice photo - one that I can relate to unfortunately

Is this the first time you've posted one of these shots? I'm curious as to why you chose this particular shot to post?



Cheers.

No particular reason, he always takes shots of me, nothing else. They are always out of focus, blurry, I usually find about six or so when I look through my photos afterwards. Edit: I usually bin them, after laughing. He helps me find birds.

The 400 lens when first using, takes getting used to, remember these are shot from a distance.

Some funny comments everyone, made me smile.

But if you had a Lytro...
Your husband might be saying, hey I must be good I keep nailing the focus.
Then you'd have to come back with, I have a good camera.

Nice photo!
mmmm. No, it's not really.
Nice subject!
And someone needs to get a better camera.
Is auto focus turned on when you hand the camera to him?

I was only having this discussion the other day when I showed a photo to a freind who has a 50D the same as mine and he said, "Man, what a great shot, he must have a 5D or 1D". Not the first time I have struck this so I go to 500px where there is some fantastic photography and filter for photo, taken with Canon 50D - "Look mate, that shot is with the same gear we have 50D and 24-105 L". I usual finish with something like, "The most important piece of equipment is light, but you can buy that, but if you learn to use it with the right composure, you can make a shot look good with an iphone :-).

Just like riding a horse - the most important thing is time in the saddle.
