This was my 2 minute tweak in Snapseed (it's quite a simple app compared with stuff like Lightroom etc but it's not too shabby). Not too dissimilar to Hosses pic. :D

Cropping is always going to be a poor second to getting what you want in the frame to start with but it helps get the idea if you can go back and recompose the shot.

@Yorick

Did you get that SLR camera and lenses?

If so, see CS's note about cropping. You're better off, from the same viewpoint, using a 'longer' lens to fill the frame with the image that you want.
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:

I hadn't realised they'd been in business for so long and that they made bikes too.

Racing was huge in the 60s.

Hailwood winning 1,000 guineas in 1964. Probably about £30k now.

In perspective, there's no prize money in BSB for at least last 25 years.

A long time ago, in a land far far away, you collected a Honda Fireblade for a doctor in Scotland from a bloke in a village in Hertfordshire. The vehicle you used for collection was the LMH and I was the owner of the Blade. I'll stop there you grumpy northern git with a scabby van.

Yes it was obvious with the top middle being out of focus. I presumed it was an iphone thing. Did you notice until you woke up this morning :lol:

It's one way of stopping the BBQ being depressing.
