Tonight's Digital Competition at Cambridge Camera Club

Hi

Well, not as grand as Damian's exhibition (which looks great, btw), but I managed a minor first this evening...both images placed in the internal digital image competition tonight. The limit is two entries, and I always enter two, but one does OK/quite well, and the other nothing (or both do nothing). This time, "Roman Vase" got a Highly Commended, and "Peek-a-boo" went one better, and got a Third place grading.





Also, rather than agonising over my choices for ages, I just banged these in, late on Sunday morning before leaving for the airport for a work trip. Little thought, but good result. Just goes to show, eh?

Peek-a-boo

I was playing around with our little one the other day, when I spotted this opportunity for a nice pic. Used the Live View on the 450D to compose the shot, since the angle meant I couldn't look through the viewfinder, as it was right up against the wall. The Live View uses contrast based AF, which didn't work well in this instance, but once I knew the height to have the camera, I switched back to non-live view, knowing that the central focus point would lock on her. The colour image is nice too (and I may post later), but I wanted to see what a mono image looked like.
