Callum and Amy sat down at the same table as me outside a pub in central Manchester, because there was room to sit down and I didn't mind! We chatted about a whole heap of things for about an hour; most enjoyable! It was edifying for me to hear a lot of commonsensical opinion from two young adults who had a pretty good grip on their priorities and their place in the world around them.
Callum noticed the Canon so with that cat out of the bag I asked if I could take his photo and he readily agreed. I moved a little to get a better background and as you can see the wind was up a little; most welcome on this occasion as it was hot! I was already setup for hand-held work with ISO400 & f8 so adjusted the shutter & fired away without noticing that at 1/100th I was pushing my luck; I should have opened the aperture to get more speed, ideally, and a couple of shots were lost to motion-blur introduced by slow shutter speed. Using the wide angle made things much easier, as expected, so a modest crop in Post completed the job. I could have bossed Callum about a bit more but didn't want to spoil what was a comfortable moment. Cheers Guys! ;-)
