Another camping ground cardshark, in the absence of a fair dinkum smoking jacket, Glen cuts a dashing figure in a Chenille dressing gown as the warmth of the sun disappears. His sartorial elegance is perhaps personified by the fact that he's chosen a Jackie Howe singlet in a shade which matches both the colour of the tarp overhead, and his jeans on the line behind him, setting up my photograph beautifully I thought.
Another day and he too will be returning to Albury after a week at the beach.

Chenille is such a sexy fabric.
Makes sense, I suppose, that if you can buy designer thongs, then you can buy designer Jackie Howes. Although it don't seem right. JHs come in faded-navy with sweat stains under the armpits.
More deluge d'negativitee ... I think the focus on the cards should be just a smidge more.
I think you are right. I didn't at the time, because I was trying to smudge the white and blue.
And the Jackie Howe was as you described I'm afraid! The chenille had a tear too.
Chenille should have bare patches where you pull the little bits out (or is that just me).
Now I see the blue tarp. Agree with Julie about slightly more focus on the cards.
I think I would be interested in seeing exactly what the cards were, fanned out at the bottom of the shot. How would you do that...? Wider angle, maybe...standing further back from the cards...?
His dark skin tone goes really well with the white. Pale folk like me make white look dirty.
I don't know what the EXIF data is but, assuming he's used a shallow depth of field, I'd use a longer DoF to get more of the shot in focus.
What Marco said with that diagram of trees, Ann. Would it work to increase the F-stop so that rule about 1/3 vs 2/3 DoF comes into play. Or am I talking gobbledy-gook ...
I don't think we need to see more of the cards, they just need to be less blurred. The concept is terrific ... if it weren't Pierre's shot, I would say that the composition borders on subtle!
I'm assuming that Peter's used something like F4 (or lower) so if you went up to F5.6 or F8 you would get more in focus. F5.6 might do it, F8 might bring too much into focus. I just experiment. I always forget that 1/3, 2/3 stuff, I just know that the bigger the number, the more of the shot is in focus and vice versa.
