Description: A friend asked me to take pics at War Memorial this morning. These young people were placing a cross in the small cross box. With the state of the world, I hope they never have to serve. I used to 7d as I thought the reach would be better but missed the IBIS of the R6.

Presentation of Book

marydoll — Fri, 13 Oct 2023 18:42:15 +0100

by: marydoll

Description: I really could do with advice. I was asked to do an 'undercover' photography shot, in a store, today. Brian, the man with the beard, has written a book about his friend Sean and he was presenting it today. Brian asked me to be there to take photographs in case the newspaper photographer wouldn't make it. Thankfully, he did. - I had to pretend to be an ordinary customer in the Cafe, until Brian gave me a signal. I don't have a flash for the R6 yet, so had debate of 7d or go with R6. In the end went with the R6 and no flash. I'm not a 'people' photographer at all, so are these kind of ok or any advice would be great.

Rescuers Receive their Certificates

marydoll — Fri, 22 Sep 2023 17:52:10 +0100

by: marydoll

Description: These guys were involved in the rescue of 3 fishermen, in the summer, when a freak wave crashed the fishermen's boat causing them to jump into the rough sea. The Skipper heard their SOS call and located them in the water, he managed to bring 2 onboard and our Lifeboat picked up the 3rd fisherman. Dame Mary Peters presented these rescuers with Certificates of Merit, this morning and the Skipper had invited me to take pics. I think the R6 handled it all very well as the boat was definitely rocking and my hands were so shaky and I was feeling a little seasick!!! I need more practice with the focus tracking on this camera!
