Coming Down the Stretch! |
I spent a
pleasant Saturday with Marni, and colleagues Hank and Casey at the horse track,
Turf Paradise, in Phoenix. It was nice to
be with friends on such a beautiful day in Arizona. Plus, I wanted to use a lens I normally don’t
use all the time, the Canon “L” class 70-300mm attached to my Canon 5D Mark
III.
Lovely Model at Turf Paradise |
I thought I
was only going to photograph horses. But
I was pleasantly surprised to find out there was also a model shoot going on
for a video game. So why not tag along
and photograph lovely models along with the action on the track?
We Have a Winner! |
Of course, I
use Lightroom 5 as my main post processing platform. I had to pull the shadows out on every shot,
it seemed. Plus I did some sharpening on
all photos.
On the
models, I also used OnOne’s
Perfect Portrait to soften skin and highlight the eyes.
Another Lovely Model at Turf Paradise! |
On some of
the horses on the track photos, I used Macphun’s
SnapHeal pro to eliminate rails, for instance, along the track. On one shot, I used Macphun’s Focus2Pro to put everything
except the horses out of focus.
It didn’t
take much time to edit these photos.
Probably took me less than an hour total. Then I uploaded to both my Flickr and Zenfolio sites, write the
blog, and post that.
The Finish Line |
Until my next adventure….
See you on down the road!
