Go Fly a Kite

Yes, I considered that. I had actually already cropped in tighter than my original composition which featured the grandstand in the distance. I wanted to show the wide open space.. but on reflection at 1200 pixels this reduces impact and subject focus… lesson learned

Should be a fun camera to carry! I've added it to our equipment database (Fujifilm X Half). I like one of the side-by-side examples shown on the Fujifilm website. That could open some creative doors. One note though in case you use the side-by-side (2 in 1) feature ... that takes 2 shutter clicks to create so wouldn't be legit for the Standard ruleset. I'm a little jealous. Have fun! :-)

Thanks for adding the camera. I took this photo with a GFX100RF (which also was not listed on the equipment list FYI ) :)

Originally posted by glad2badad: Oh, I want to like this one so much. Love the concept, just would have been stronger (IMO) with the DOF included down thru the camera and displayed photos. Maybe the use of focus stacking would help here, especially in a static setting such as this? Good luck.

Thanks for the comment. I was kicking myself a little when you posted this during voting. I agree with you. I took a fair few different versions of the 'scene' and this plain white was a last minute shot as I went to put everything away. In the end it felt clean enough to use but 100% I should have re-shot with better lighting (This was window light) and front to back focus (also improve the background (This was placed on top of the cats litterbox so sub-optimal for a product shoot :) )

Great shot. I had a similar idea.. but couldn't find any dandelions :)
This should be up there with the ribbons.

Well executed. If I can be picky, I’d suggest making sure there is no sign of dust or dirt on the product.

I like the idea to make this soft and dreamy as an image. Works well as an enticing advertisement
