This one is for Collette.
I originally posted this last Saturday, but deleted it when I saw that Collette had already posted one. Having seen her work, I had an idea in mind that I thought would interest the Forum.
We were stood next to each other, both using 1D bodies and both using 300mm prime lenses. We also use similar post processing programs, so we should end up with exactly the same shot right?
Wrong! First, I am a little taller than Collette and stood on tiptoes to get a slightly higher point of view, shooting slightly down. That meant that none of the sky was in my shot and I got the bland, out of focus background that I wanted. We also used slightly different settings, but in this instance, it wouldn't have materially affected the results. We also used slightly different criteria with post processing, mine being slightly lighter, because that's how my eyes saw the scene.
Both photo's are technically competent, record the same scene, which was in challenging lighting and both were shot in manual. We even have the same composition. The difference is two photographers, with different styles. If we had six photographers huddled together, we may have even got six slightly different versions!
Am I being an anorak, or is that interesting?![Smile](https://www.eos-magazine-forum.com/core/images/smilies/smile.png)
