Meet Taylor—M.D., PhD., marathon
runner and really nice lady. I am
sure there any many more things that you could say about here, but I think you
get the idea—she is an accomplished young lady.
My buddy, Steve, and I had the
pleasure of photographing her about a week ago. Taylor’s only request was for us to get a good photograph of
her running. According to Taylor,
a good photograph would be one in which both her feet were off the ground and
she did not look like she was dreading the next step.
Steve and I had a few problems
getting her good running photo—hard light, messy background and, in my case,
not too much sports photography talent.
I think this photo qualifies. But, as always, what do you think.
Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D3 on a tripod, Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 at ISO 800,
f/5.6 at 1/3000th of a second.
Post Processing:
Lightroom 4—increased clarity and vibrance
and did some basic dodging and burning various parts of the photo.
This shot is pretty straight on with the subject centered and filling a small portion of the frame. Perhaps you could achieve more impact by panning her in profile as she passes the camera to get more muscle and sweat detail while capturing a bit of motion blur in the background.
