Here’s a lesson which I learnt a while ago in anticipation for aliens landing. Always have a camera at arms reach and ready to go. 12 photos in about 20 seconds, I leave my camera on rapid fire, and they were gone.
This cute couple arrived, sat on the arm of the chair for a few seconds, of which I got three almost in focus shots. Another thing to remember is to leave your camera on the correct settings, or at least settings which allow a bit of give when it comes to exposure and focus, which I hadn’t, and with a multipurpose lens (like a zoom), which I had.
Even a simple thing like taken the camera down from ISO1600 to something better suited for bright sunlight is a chore when you’re shooting like this. Hence I tried to get down to 200 and failed to hit the correct button and so all these were grainy. But lightroom is pretty good at smoothing things out. Anyway….
They then jumped up onto the table for a few seconds…
Then they jumped back to the arm of the chair for a few more seconds….
and then they were gone. Thanks for visiting, please come back.
