Morning and afternoon deliveries

Finally, two dumps in a single day that were more than an hour apart. And this time round, there was greater consistency in the condition and volume of the stools. The morning dump (shot close-up): The afternoon dump (standard framing, pretty clean composition, eh?):

Give zooming a chance

Ok, this is not a tribute to John Lennon. Despite my reservations about close-up shots, I thought this morning’s dump would work well with closer scrutiny. So I tried to zoom in and the shot turned out better than yesterday’s.

Here I zoom again

Just to make sure yesterday’s zoom image wasn’t a fluke shot, I tried the same strategy on this morning’s dump. Turned out the zoomed version was noticeably grainier. I’ll probably stick to the standard composition, unless there’s a reason for a close-up.
