If any of them were "soft" I didn't notice- they all look really good! If I had any suggestion to make them even better it would be try to follow the rule of thirds (or whatever it's called)- framing your subjects like so. Keep em coming! |
Thanks. For the quesitons, really it depends on the situation. The first shot, I was actually waiting for the fighting bulls to get closer, turned and saw him on the hill and got 2 quick shots off. Fighting bulls were sequence shooting. The others kinda a combo of both. Take 3 or 4 shots, wait. And actually, because of the distances shot at and not wanting tiny subjects, many of these are crops. I had to toss the rule of thirds out the window as to not have a half an elk in a shot. lol. Tried to keep things at least a little off-center when possible. Think the only ones that aren't at all cropped are the first and second to last. I try to not have to crop, but in these cases it was necessary.
