PHOTO-A-DAY: FEBRUARY 2014

dissent

@ Msmoto, @ Beso,
Thanks. It was kind of funny. As the tour guides were moving you through this viewing area, they would say "don't bother taking pictures of this yourself, you can get much better images in our gift shop taken by professionals." Or words to that effect. They were probably right; I'm sure there were fine images available for sale there. But I ignored their warnings and snapped away and got a few decent frames out of it. The results were pleasantly surprising. A good learning experience for me.

The only thing that makes this photo unusable is the way the hair falls badly off of her shoulder.

You have a significantly more restrictive concept of "usable" than I do. Of course!
Nice image.

That is a classic! I owned a couple of McIntosh's power amps back in the 90s!

Sorry to diverge from the pretty lady portion of the February PAD thread, but all I have to offer right now is this -

I wonder whether the tour guide could explain the difference and what he/she considers superior in the pictures for sale in the gift shop.

@dissent I would have ignored them as well. And a photo of some marketing material my internship asked me to shoot. More to come!
