You’re favorite shot
The story of the image…..
Let’s try something with a thread about your favorite shots and the story behind them, and just keep adding…..
I will kick off.
You know my work consists of a lot of fashion shots, however I LOVE to do other stuff also. This image is one of the shots I took during one of the games I shot from our sons soccer team.
People always look a bit weird when I shoot sports because I sit very close to the ground (to make the players look taller) and they are not used to that with these kind of games, most parents are there with their point and shoots and using flash to reach the other side of the field 😀
In this case I actually thought the ball would go towards one of our players (the one in blue) and I guess he also thought that, but in reality the ball went the other way hitting one of the green players right in the face, I really felt sorry for the little guy, but I love the shot 😀
It was shot with the 5D and shot in RAW, even sports I shoot in RAW when I do it for fun, it just leaves me with a lot more “punch” to work with. You can see I did not expected the ball to go this way because the crop is actually a bit too tight, but I always make my composition a bit too wide with sports and in this case it saved the day….
So share your favorite image and it’s story.
Greetings,
Frank
This photo could be an award winner, internationally. You should try entering one! seriously 🙂
I was taking photos of High School graduation in a large closed stadium. There were two birds chasing each other, and one of them just went under the chairs… other landed like this one and was looking at the other bird. I took that shot right before this one also flew under the chairs.
WOW, really like this one. great shot.
Very interesting shot; keeping the blue players in the crop frame makes the story so much more interesting; thanks for sharing!
Frank, I’ve notice that most of your images are in a 8×10 format. Is this something you are used to doing in post for magazine print or is it the medium format sensor designed that way?
Most is shot in 4:3 format due to MF camera.
But this one is just cropped, without any format in mind.
That’s really a nice catch. Well done.
This is one of my favorites. I had just had the cape made and got my friend to come in and model it as I wanted to see if it photographed well. I liked it!
