Experiments
« on: March 02, 2019, 12:37:10 am »

Kept trying to get something that I had in mind, just couldn't get the shutter speed right (light changing fast, variable movement).
The last is the closest to what I wanted.

I think the composition and sky are fine, but what grabs me is that the subject merges with the clouds, thus not quite there. I like the lower POV on the camera position and its motion but there's not enough clear sky at the bottom of the frame for placement and so the heads seem lost in the clouds. IMO, the subject needs to be separate from the sky in this case and the top of the heads can be close, though not touching.

As one of my mentors would say (can't remember which one from so many years ago,) is that this is in the vicinity of a photograph, close but not quite there.

Thanks for the time, that's another problem with these which I didn't notice when I took them, being focused on trying to get the motion right and quickly peaking at the captured shots on the camera screen.
Looking now on the computer I can tell that with the right amount of blur and in certain positions it becomes less of a problem but doesn't solve it, so another lesson for the next time.
