Practical Move, Ramon Vazquez up, after winning the Santa Anita Derby at Santa Anita Park, Arcadia, California
Following the Practical Photography course - Month 1, black and white photography - Decided this shot was too dark with the tree branches becoming lost in the dark cloud.
Shoot a simple landscape photo that incorporates at least one compositional device. Use the rule of thirds as a starting point and include lead-in lines, foreground interest or both if you're feeling adventurous.
That's as simple as it gets - there are some additional suggestions including
• a recommendation to use f16 (APS-C sensor) or f22 (full frame sensors) for a large depth of field.
• consider viewpoint carefully - low viewpoint / standing?
• tripod might help with long exposures and also tends to make you consider a shot in more detail.
Following the Practical Photography course - Month 1, black and white photography - Decided this shot was the best of a poor bunch. Off camera flash in manual mode with aperture stopped down to black out the background. Camera set to save RAW + B&W JPG. This is the unedited JPG file except for some crop and resize.
