The other point when photographing locals here, I have to be careful not to lighten the skin too much post edit to bring out the facial features. One local said, “that’s not me, I am black, not white.....” |
Morning Phil,
I fell asleep early and now awake
Very peaceful on board as there is no wind and the water is calm
I’m in the process of deciding whether to get up and put the kettle on or turn over and get another hours shut eye
P.s, If your camera has the setting put it to single spot focus which should allow you to fine tune your focusing.
In your lion image (although on my phone the focusing looks fine) you could have moved the focus on to the lions other eye without the grass in front of the camera was struggling to nail the focus .
