Compo 10,328 Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Carni: When taking photos through glass you will find that a certain amount of light is reflected from the galzed surfacce. This makes it difficult for an aoutofocus to decide exactly what the subject should be. The result can be a bit of blurring as it tries to catch what it thinks is the image required. you can reduce this effect by taking your photo on manual focus. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,145 Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 A man who looks on glass on there may stay his eye or if he pleases through it pass and then the heaven espy. A bit of religion seeing as it’s Sunday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

One of the problems that we have en counted when taking photos through the window, is reflection of what ever we have on the coffee table, which is just inside the window, in the middle. At the moment we have a white Orchid plant, but Chris took the photo from the right hand side, so we got away with it.  Most of our bird feeders and bird bath are just a few feet from the house, so our pictures will always be through glass. Will give the manual focus a try.  2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
carni 10,094 Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 What a good job has been done Ian, I love the decor. Someone has very good taste. I thought how much the young lady resembled me, and then I thought 'Well, I am allowed to dream aren't I'. Beats Drums and Guitars any day. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

carni 10,094 Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 We had cause to visit Nottm today, but 'Alas' due to ill relations we had to abandon todays house visits at last minute. So not to waste the day, we dropped son and partner at Wollaton Park, for 4hrs and we drove around enjoying the scenery . Lovely views around Woodborough. Firstly we drove to Stoke Bardolph and enjoyed our sandwiches by the river, in the car park opposite 'The Ferry Boat''. Took the opportunity to get this shot of a Cormarant on the opposite shore, showing off its wing span, which isn't massive but impressive and usefull. At least it wasn't munching a gigantic Eel, as the last time I saw one. Here goes! 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,872 Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Hey Carni I've been walking today and stopped for lunch at Burton Joyce by the side of the river. If I'd known you were just up the road I would have come and shared some of your cake. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,895 Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Lovely photo, I belonged to a sailing club there. I crewed for a family who lived near us at Cinderhill. I must have been about 20-21. But I remember the Ferry Boat. Great times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,511 Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 That’s interesting Nonna, at that time I spent every Sunday on the river, just downstream at Gunthorpe and Hoveringham, water-skiing.  We used to have a few drinks in The Unicorn or Elm Tree, Hoveringham on Sunday evenings.  I watched the moon landing at the Elm Tree.  A lad I was at school with used to sail on the Trent, he progressed to being in the Olympic team, then Manager of the team, then President of the RYA and then Head of UK Sport.  No names, he’s still alive! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,422 Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Well blow me down, I skied at Gunthorpe $%""^ yrs ago. Big tip - try not to come off at the turn point Nottingham side of the bridge. One, it's only a few inches deep. Two, it's where the cows come down to drink and pee in the water... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
