Hello,
I had a look at your "Aurora GrandPrix June 06" gallery. My favourite picture is DSC_2155.jpg. :-) It was really funny to see this one appear in that long sequence of horse jumps (especially since I had not looked at the thumbnail sheet: it was totally unexpected).
I had a smile at that one too. "hey - where did he come from !"
You seem to take the picture nearly always during the beginning of the jump. Is there a photographic/technical reason to avoid the second half of the jump or is it simply a matter of personal preferences?
It looks more dynamic. The up half looks better than the down half Compare this http://www.muddypawz.net/adsc070603/images/adsc0063.jpg to this http://www.muddypawz.net/adsc070603/images/2adsc0018.jpg (that's what I think, anyway!)
Dave, maybe you could make your albums open in a new browser window so that the user always have access to your home page. I noticed "Welcome to Groundline.com" Is this going to be your new website?
Somebody mentioned that it was a bit boring having lots of shots of horses going over jumps - well that's what the clients want to see! Perhaps you could put together a separate small portfolio of varied horse shots for the casual observer and non-client. That would be nice to see.
It''s like my agility shots. Most people go through them - "dog jumping", "dog jumping", "dog jumping", "dog jumping", "dog jumping", "dog not jumping", "dog jumping", "dog jumping" etc. Whereas I go through "Roxy doing the gamble", "Branson in that marvellous jumpers run", "Oh, look that's Tanja just before she ran off course" because I was there running my dog and so were a lot of my friends. The reason for the sameyness of the shots is because often there are only one or two good vantage points and Dave doesn't want to be running around like a blue a*sed fly trying to get different shots for the general public, he wants to concentrate on at least one good shot of each rider in the hope that each of those riders will buy a print!
Oh yes, on a sort of related note - Dave - you asked a while back about combining photos on one sheet. Like the picture package in photoshop but two different photos. Adobe Photoshop album lets you do it. Fully working starter edition is downloadable and allows you to add 250 photos to the album without having to upgrade.
