Not my best but I have not posted any photos for awhile. So what do you think it's been a long winter I'm just glad to be back out shooting again.

I know I was trying to make new eye for it. Im still working on my skill for that. If anyone has a good way to do it I would love to know.

I would just black it out. You could spend a bunch of energy on something that no one will notice.

Question for you regarding the fencing. What do you think about the fence making it look like the picture is leaning. Unless you are square to the fence it will always appear to be going up left or right. Do you straighten those images. I go back and forth.

YEs I do normally straighten them. It was late and I didnt think about it. I never used to worry about the eyes but got more and more comments about them so I started tring to fix them.

I like what you got there. As far as fences go, look around you. Are they all straight and level? My wife is allways on me about that, but I say the world is not straight and square so why should every photo be?


Canon markIIn - Nikon D3 and a bunch of other crap I probably dont need but think I do.

Thanks. That was my question. Since many arenas are ovals it is hard to have the fence level. Seems that whenever I post one without straightening someone always says something.

Some times I dont notice. It all depends on how bad it looks. On the fist one I did level it for the sold print.

Hmmm... I'll take the opposite view. Many, many fence posts are vertical, or quote close to it. Unless a photo is purposely angled (cars, skateboards, etc), I tend to go for the "it should be level" philosophy.

If we all looked at things the same, it would be a boreing world.
