I Wondered what was approaching when I saw these people advancing towards me.
A blessing really it added lovely bright colours "DOWNLOAD' to the image.....My friend
and coach's patience is showing better images from me. I am realising what a fool I have
been for many years using high quality camera gear on auto. Call me an idiot I deserve it..

If cameras did not have an AUTO setting, then why is it there? The reason why I use an AUTO setting, is to capture a shot quickly. The I can jigger around to get an even better shot. As for calling yourself an “idiot,” you are not one. You are one of many who is satisfied with a photo taken on AUTO. There is nothing wrong with that because photography is a form of personal expression.

Another habit I have, is pressing the shutter two or three times in succession moving slightly to the left and right without “chimping” between shots. I feel that when a photographer stares at the LCD screen, valuable time and photographs are lost forever.

But that is in my humble opinion.

Thanks for your comment, maybe I didn't explain myself properly, I'm sorry. You are perfectly correct in what you say. I have been satisfied with Auto Settings for many tears, but since my friendly teacher explained a hell of a lot to me, I am getting getting far more pleasure from my hobby and I can see the difference and it has improved. You mentioned the LCD screen, I have never used that, except for checking the result of the recent shot. I always use the viewfinder.

I love photography because it is hard to take a bad photograph. Everything is open to interpretation.

I think with a few “cheers and beers” I’ll be able to take photos like that.

Your coach should have mentioned that you need a faster shutter speed to stop the motion blur in moving things.... your focus is dead on but 1/60s is not quite fast enough to "freeze" their action... I would give you 80 out of 100... :)

Oh believe me, there are plenty of "bad" photographs.

Interesting and different shot. What is the occasion, if any? Thanx for sharing.

It could have been a sponsored run, or something like that, there was just the three of them. As you can imagine it was a surprise to see them. I never had chance to reset my settings, they just kept on jogging.
