gitty-up! cool action shot!M.Christine Duncan August 25, 2008
ROFL.... great motion capture John! How in the world you managed to catch all four hooves off the ground I'll never know!!?? Was this just luck? Or a really fast lens... or both? And don't hate me... but would it be wrong to want to add just a touch of contrast to this lighting...? Or are you a "leave it as is" kinda guy? Just wondering though... I'm usually loath to try too much and just lately started playing in post editing more... great photo! #6366067John H. Siskin August 25, 2008
I really had a good time on this job. I got a couple of shots with all four hoofs off the ground, but I did take a lot of shots. I think that taking an image in many different ways is a very important part of what a photographer does. Another thing we all have to learn to do is edit. Take a hundred photos, then find the right one. I did flip this shot horizontally in post. I probably added a little contrast, I often do. The problem is I am comparing the shot to what I saw, not what might be best. So I am often too conservative in the way I manipulate an image. The lens was f2.8 and I was probably shooting at around ISO 100. The shutter speed was not that fast, maybe 125? You’ll notice that I am panning with the horse. This throws the background out of focus.Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
