What a Dummy

[GEORDIE]

Downloaded some pics to computer, this is what I saw.
Has to the dumbest ever, tripod bag right in the middle of the shot Duh! Colin.

[ShaneS]

LOL Colin...the one redeeming thing is it would be fairly easy to clone out and no one would ever know except us

I've downloaded wide angle shots where my feet are in the image if that makes you feel any better...

[Rita]

LOL so glad I am not the only one that does this kind of thing

[Stagecoach]

I reckon you left the spirit level in the bag as well Colin

[GEORDIE]

Well spotted Grahame. Shane and Rita you make me feel better.
Cheers Colin.

Dumb, dumb, dumb. No, just joking It might even be within an area that could be cropped off?

[GEORDIE]

Thanks Nick.
I did clone it out and did level it as Grahame suggested.
Colin.

[Mark von Kanel]

So post the result along with your other PP im curious to see what you did with it!

[IzzieK]

I am late...slept too long I suppose so the advises had already been given...Don't worry, at least now you know you are being human...

Goofy at times? Welcome to the club!

I probably would have spotted the bag in the viewfinder and been to lazy to go move it, I'll just Photoshop that out later.

Colin I'm sure most on here will have had similar photography "senior moments" even the younger people

At least your bloomer was easy to overcome, I once spent a whole Sunday (you couldn't fish on a Sunday then) travelling around the Kenmore area of Scotland with four friends. Getting them to pose much to their annoyance in front of various scenic places. Only to realise at the end of the day that I didn't have any film in the camera DOH! now that is being a Dummy

Oh, that's disgraceful. Such sloppiness should not be tolerated.

[ShaneS]

But the car was so integral to the scene Donald - you should have left it! All this time I thought you were a purist who never made mistakes...consider my bubble officially burst

[Donald]

It's just that you don't normally see the mistakes!

[ShaneS]

At least you notice them before you present your images...I hate that "Duh!" moment when someone points out something obvious that I didn't see and then I can't stop seeing it!

[GEORDIE]

Mark asked to see the repair job. Cropped and straightened in Elements 11

I took an image at a diagonal angle once thinking I could straighten it later, but it didn't work out so well...

Much stronger image with that crop. A better all-around balance.

[ST1]

The crop works but in removing the offending bag it's just a shame that you have also lost a bit of the weather vane.
