One of themes for an upcoming evening at the camera club is humorous pictures. Now, I immediately have a problem with this, my sense of humour can be so dry (I was going to say that a desert is like a lake in comparison, but’s probably totally inappropriate, but you get my drift – hopefully) that spotting a humorous picture is practically an impossibility.
Then we come to the header picture, in which the tulips are all leaning towards the front of the boat. The alignment of the boat with the prevailing wind means it must have been done by a person of the sea, offers an opportunity of great humour to a good photographer.
That’s the other nub of the matter isn’t it? I not only have a nearly non-existent sense of humour, I am also not a good photographer. I’d like to be, but sadly that skill took one look at and said “you’ve got no chance.”
So, the the question I’d like to ask, given the likelihood that you are a much more skilled person with a camera than myself, and acknowledging that there is very limited context to the picture, how would you manipulate the image to have them rolling in the aisles?
Oh, we had a very nice day out by the way. With slightly hair raising coach drive to Totnes, a lovely river cruise along The Dart, a pleasant few hours in Dartmouth (where I took the picture), any ride on a heritage steam train is always a pleasure this time to Paignton and a very short ride to the hotel all was most enjoyable.
