    Cool Wide Open

    A grab shot while in the office.(mountain biking) Overall does the composition have enough? I thought about including the front tire or the handelbars... :idea: but didn't. Thanks

    Re: Wide Open

    I wish I had an office like you did. I'm glad you didn't include the handlebars or front wheel. I think it would have ruined it.

    It seems a little warm though.

    If you could have taken the shot while moving so the clouds and foreground sides were blurred, that could have been interesting. This only if someone else is riding and you're a pillion passenger of course. S

    Rick - My impression here is great sky, lacking foreground. Even if there was a stronger subject there I think the field looks sort of rough, but maybe it's the lighting.

    An ND grad would have helped bring out the foreground.

    Re: Wide Open

    i think getting down lower to the "road" and including alittle more of it close up would have helped immensly.

    Re: Wide Open

    Thanks everyone. I am responsible for the odd looking foreground.I tried to pop it up to spec. Greg, I'll have to put that ND filter on my list. @ 77mm it woun't be a cheap one...
    I appreciate the feedback, tips to improve.
    With regards,

    Rick

    You need this Rick.....Much cheaper. Once you get set up all is needed is a cheap adaptor ring to fit your lenses.
