Lol - it would have been milliseconds for Graham to tip the camera down a touch or zoom out a bit.
In hindsight I could have taken a lot of photos better…especially the grabshots.
More often than not it’s having the wrong lens on the camera at that moment. You have a choice of taking the photo with what you have to hand …or not.
At one time in my business promo literature I used the phrase “inside every photograph is a spectacular image waiting to get out”. It was aimed primarily at customers wanting to use their images in their literature, with me offering digital manipulation and editing to best advantage.
It did however equally apply to some of my own images, where some judicious cropping, distraction cloning helped lift the end product.
Confession: I did a new kitchen shoot many moons ago for a client and was booked for a half day. I got on very quickly because it was one of those locations that was unidirectional. Unfortunately there was a bleeding great clock on the wall and in plain sight from all the usable angles. When I got back to the studio and reviewed the images from start to finish, I noticed the clock hadn’t changed by the 4 hours that I was supposed to be there. So I did some digital clock winding.
I am not adverse to editing and manipulating images with software like Photoshop….it’s just that I like to do it rather than AI.
