Thanks, Lurker. I have been thinking of doing a face in the sand photo at the beach all week, too lazy until this afternoon.

For more detailed answer google and photographic sites are your friend 🙂
yeah but I'm lazy with the attention span of a gnat. I just want to set the camera to auto and have a reflection free photo.
I did some research on my nikon after I got back from Norfolk Is with 600 **bleep**py photos. Who knew AUTO actually meant flashfill with this model
a few ideas for people
face up
face down
cliff face
face off
about face
facing

The comp thread is a bit like the barrow of pumpkins at the edge of the road.
I should have come here before commenting on the other thread..sorry channys_mum
Sorry if my pic offended you nicnacs.
I took it at a fundraiser. There were many very old items there. That is a metal coffin, and lucky for the comp it has a face in it.
The fundraiser was for careflight.
Oh the irony.

Pimpy, try putting a hankie or tissue over your flash.
I'm lazy too, BTW, and I found this works most of the time
without a hefty price tag

aww lurker, we can have more than one, I'm sure your cliff face would be different to mine.
As it happens I don't have any, I was just throwing it out there.
I was thinking of taking a photo of the local coal mine and calling it the face of progress, but I'd get arrested for trespassing before I could get close enough
