briant 0 Posted July 19, 2007 Great sports shot I cant figure out if the skyscrapers add or subtract. On balance they subtract Link to comment
namurray 0 Posted July 19, 2007 Thanks Brian. I agree with you about the apartment buildings in the background detracting from the photo. I exposed at f4.5 to blur them a bit but not quite enough. At Sha Tin it is very difficult to get a gap in the near background anywhere along the home straight. I have written about this problem in my horse racing photography article at neilmurrayphotos.com You might like to take a look. Regards,Neil Link to comment
gerfoy3 0 Posted July 23, 2007 I feel if a background is used well as done here it adds to the subject, this was the environment of the and so adds placement to the riders and horses. Ger.. Link to comment
namurray 0 Posted July 24, 2007 Thanks Ger for the comments. Some people like background to give context to the shot as you say. Kind regards, Neil Link to comment
