Taking the near perfect photograph

Have you ever tried to take the perfect photograph? Travel offers the opportunity to see and photograph scenes from around the world to give you memories for years to come. You find the location, check the lighting, frame the subject, aperture and shutter speed set, well perhaps not the last part on the iPhone SE that I use, and you are ready for that award winning photo, then this……..

Someone moves into the frame as you press the shutter. I mean what can you do? It seems to happen to me repeatedly. I would appreciate any ideas you have to allow me to take that elusive perfect photo.

P.S. could not resist having some fun with this. Please note that Anne does all the award wining photographs in this blog from the motorbike and on foot.

  1. I’m surprised Anne gets into any photographs with her being the shy retiring delicate little flower that she is.

    • Seems that this was a setup by the photographer although he may deny it. Remember the days of deciding which negatives to get a print of. Only three shots left on the roll. What to take?

  3. I think they are lovely photos when compared to my efforts. I generally catch lots of people with V signs making grotesque faces, and that is near family. Enjoy
