Photos of Broadstairs this evening, plenty of seagulls there,
here are the links
The picture , Girl with Seagulls, Trouville, 1865 by Gudtave
Corbet shows how our relationship with the seagull has changed over the years.
I am pretty sure that it would be illegal to eat a seagull now, but then it
does look as though dinner was the objective in the picture.
Once again I have put up the photos on my camera card, not
just the ones that came out well, there has been some comment about the photos
on Facebook recently.
My intention with putting up these strips of snaps taken
while walking about the area is so that people who can’t walk about Thanet for
one reason or another can see what I saw. This isn’t supposed to be great
photography, I don’t stop long to take the pictures, if I stop at all, so some
are probably a fuzzy.
The camera is a 10 year old 5 mega pixel camera worth about
£40 “Canon powershot s3 is” it’s what’s called a bridge camera. For this type
of snapping while walking about I use it on fairly low definition with digital
zoom turned on, this means that when you get to the end of optical zoom, i.e.
when the lens moves, then the digital zoom goes on to take advantage of the
full digital image definition. One of the big advantages of this camera is that
it has good image stabilisation, which means that you can take zoom shots
without very steady hands, the other is that it has a viewfinder that you can
adjust to compensate for needing reading glasses.
My guess would be that cameras have come a long way since
this one was made, but I wouldn’t want to carry an expensive camera around in
my jacket pocket .
Never mind about some photos being a bit out of focus I think they're great, keep em coming, as a former ramsgatonian I love em.
ReplyDeleteTony glad you think that way, obviously I have the option to delete all of the ones that are not really up to much or to just publish the whole lot. The deciding factor being that I know a film director who has lived in Ramsgate and I asked him how to approach the cutting room floor, his rely was that he had just been filming in the desert and found even the fuzzy photos of Ramsgate helpful when trying to cool down, so put them all up and let people decide which ones not to look at.
