My previous pile of wood has reached its maximum height I think:
On @redlemace@lemmy.world’s advice, I stacked the new pile in a criss-cross pattern. It certainly is more compact and more stable, but also finding adequately-sized logs to make the pile grow straight is a somewhat OCD exercise that I don’t care that much for.
Also, my pile doesn’t look as nice as in other people’s photos 🙂 But hey, it’s functional.
Hehe well spotted 🙂
There are two solutions to remove yourself from the picture:
1/ Take two photos - one with you standing at the front, the other with you standing on the side, then in your favorite image editor, paste the empty spot in the one you stand on the side over your image standing in front. That requires a tripod obviously, as the two photo’s POVs must be strictly identical.
2/ Set a 10-second timer and go hide. Or use a bluetooth remote and take the shot after you’re hidden. What’s what I did with this one: I was behind the big fir tree behind the camera. The two-photo trick is really only when there’s nowhere to hide.
Brilliant! I actually have an old Ricoh laying around that I’ve never used. I think you may be the inspiration I needed to get it out!
