9 pics + Indentity request.

Dick on Aruba

Today was one of those days that were full with little mistakes / mishaps and nothing really seems to come out the way I like it. You know, you didn’t use the fill-flash while you should, you did use ISO 100 while you should use ISO 400 and use f6.3 while you should use f8. Neither was it a day to use your heavy equipment hand-held.

Although it was not my day, I manage to take some reasonable photo’s (including the above mishaps)

Great set of pictures Dick

This pic makes me dream - if it weren't so rusty I'd love to sit on that chair and vile away the afternoon. Is it a lagoon in front?

Thanks for looking.

It's the Caribbean Sea in front and a lagoon in the back. Because of the Easter, the Arubians camping at sea site. Everywhere you smell BBQ and beer

I think that is a turduckin! John Madden uses them at Thankgiving

Serioulsy though I like the pic's. Just one thing I noticed though, all (except the chair) have the main subject right in the center.

You're right but this time it happen to be so for the best IMO. The ducks did only have a couple of quare meters to swim in and the situation didn't allow me compose like I should.
The others...well...a matter of taste and, in this case, composition space.

You should voice your opinion if you think it matters. Without those remarks / advices nobody will learn. I'm glad you did!

Thanks,

Dick.
