Plasma Cutterby texdonComment by glad2badad: Who doesn't love a good sparks display?! I hope you put your settings in the photo details; I'd be interested in ISO and shutter speed. Well done. |

Getting Some Air Before Sunsetby texdonComment by Neat: Originally posted by texdon: Originally posted by Neat: Seriously Don 100%, absolutely fantastic photo!…
Adding as a favourite. |
Anita, from the Queen of Silhouettes, I’m just flattered by your comments. Thank you! 107 attempts. I had several with a single rider I was quite content with. I didn’t even know I got this one until I downloaded the images! Pleasantly surprised to say the least. This a full frame image, no cropping. 100 degree temps and I had to walk to the spot and didn’t want to lug a second lens; Figured I’d be better off with the 70-200, wrong. At 70 mm, my back was against a barbed wire fence with six foot dense weeds behind it.
Sunset was around 8:30 pm, and the riders had to be off the track by 8:30, so I wasn’t going to get the golden light I wanted. This one was snapped at around 7. I’m at the bottom of a 20 feet hill, so the illusion of sunset is there. I did have to play with this to get the light color I wanted. I actually used your latest entry as a guide. It’s a natural vignette, not added. Exposure was really tricky because I could not time very well where the riders would be with the sun and they were very fast. Ended up with a high shutter speed priority with an automatic 5 stops underexposure dialed in. Most of the riders had called it a day by 7:30 and were leaving.
Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments. I know now where the higher scores come from. Wish I could figure out the 4s and 5s. |
Wow, that is some backstory, thank you. You deserve the blue even more because of what you had to achieve to get this perfect shot. Usually behind every great image, there’s a fantastic story, thanks for sharing. As for the lower votes, I’ve worked out there are just some people that don’t know a very good photo if they fell over it; and of course, then there’s the other reason, which we won’t go into. It’s best not to think about it :)
Cheers and all the best. |
