As I was downloading photos, I chuckled at this series and thought some might find this amusing. Illustrated here is the process that a photographer might use to take a Crappy Photograph.
I was cruising the reef, and as always, looking for something interesting and eye catching to photograph. I found this lovely red sea fan in front of an opening in the reef to blue water on the other side. I said to myself "there's a crappy photo here, let's see if I can find it"
First, let's see if I can capture the blue water though the fan....nope
Well, let's frame the blue just above the fan...nope, fan underexposed
Ah, now THIS is getting crappy!
Back where I started..Let's speed up the shutter!
faster shutter, losing the blue
Let's get closer! Now, burning out the fan and losing light on the bottom
A little higher angle, another little tweak...
OK let's lose the fan altogether..
Hey look, over there's a clownfish! :gives up and swims away:
:-)
