What can I do to get rid of the fence in forground
Jul 8, 2012 22:11:24 #
I hear others say they used different settings that help to block out fences as in zoos, what should I do. I have an inexpensive camera Fujifilm finpix 52000HD (other than getting another camera)

Fences are pretty tough to get to go away. You have to use a small depth of field. What were your settings on these. I would say you should have been down around 3.5-5.6 to get them a little better.

I usually keep it on Auto 8M 16:9, sometimes I change the f setting not sure what I did on these. Thanks for the advise.

You also need to be right close to the fence which in the above cases are mostly likely not permitted. Even so, the fence can still be very lightly visible. That's photographic life! You can't photograph everything you want!

I gave it a try using PhotoShop Elements with Content aware.
It took just a couple of minutes..Doug

I'm not clever enough to use Photoshop but how does this strike you? I could continue along the same lines but it's laborious work and that cobweb on the chainlink is going to make life difficult.

Wow Doug!! Nice work!!! I guess some day when it rains for a month and I can't get outside and play, I might have to learn how to do things like that. :) Very cool!!

I'm a little surprised that no other person has attempted this. Here's my continued work. That cobweb was a bit of a beast and I had to more or less guess what was underneath. It's not perfect by any means but it's an acceptable attempt I believe.
It would have been easier if you had uploaded the original.

honeslty besides spending some time in post, your fuji camera is not up to the task of blowing past the fence. As mentioned you need to use a large aperture setting, you will need to put the lens as close as possible to the fence in question and set you shutter speed, ISO to gain proper exposure. I think the only a SLR (digital or film) or a bridge camera would allow you such control.

I see everyone saying 'large aperture'. No one has said anything about a telephoto lens. Only a telephoto lens can see pass a wire fence at a large aperture.

Not true, I've been able to do so with my 85mm 1.8, the trick is the distance of the subject from the fence.

Taken at the San Diego Zoo with 18-270 Tamron at 270, iso 100, F7.1. Focus on the subject. Make sure not to focus on fence. Was not up against fence.

85mm is a telephoto lens. Large aperture and get close to fence.
