    Changing the Guard

    In Horseguards, London.

    Liked the line up and postures, although the black horses and shiny or white stuff made exposure a bit of a challenge -



    7D + 24-105L on a dull day.

    Cheers, Chris.
    Just chuggin' along.

    Nice Chris - as you have hinted the lower third might need a bit of lightening to see the horses properly. Cracking line up though.

        The horses on the right hand side are crying out for a caption.

          Good shot Chris but as said the horses are a bit in shadow - try and pull some more detail using the shadow/highlight tool

                  Great image, love the symmetry and pattern. As you say if you can lighten the horses it will be even better.

                      Re: Changing the Guard

                      Thanks for the comments. Yes, bringing out detail in the lower half would help, but I haven't got - to my shame and I must do something about it - the skill to use something like PS to do that. Usually shoot JPEG rather than RAW, but should I invest the time in going RAW and becoming PS literate (or whatever the phrase would be)?

                      And, yes, Di, I wonder what the two horses were saying to each other.....


                      Cheers, Chris.

                              A resounding yes to this, you won't regret it if you do.

                              Like the image, the symmetry is very pleasing,but I wish you hadn't cut the horses head off on the right.

                              Light makes photography. Embrace light. Admire it. Love it. But above all, know light. Know it for all you are worth, and you will know the key to photography- George Eastman
