Arrrggghhh, close-in doesn’t only work for babies, it works for Pirates too!

While on a trip through San Pedro a couple of weekends ago, I happened into these merry men

and their wenches too.

Make no bones about it, yer gotta get in deeper than davey-jones locker to capture every last whisker on their faces.

“Me’n'th’ crew seen a great grand sea beastie, th’ mother of all whales, aye!” Yer gotta have your aperture wide open and get in close.

Don’t be wary if they look at you and say “Yer a scurvy bilge rat, ya pompous gasbag!”

Focus on their eyes (or “eye” in some cases when wearing an eyepatch ), and make sure to focus on their Scrumpets too. Savvy?

So, get up and get out and get some shots of your favorite bildge-rat or “Show a leg!, it be dawn, you scurvy lubber!”. Get up, get shooting!
