Juddabug Whippets Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hey there Photopro's I took a zillion photos this weekend of the whippet races.... but there are a few that I was kinda happy with... but am wondering if I've done the right thing in Lightroom when processing them. I only did minimal but am curious to hear your thoughts, whether I should leave it, up the ante? These are two photos of the same dog, very sweet who has a deformity and therefore cannot run like a whippet can! I was trying to capture some 'in the moment' shots for her owners. I am aware that I chopped her ear off in the head shot (grrrr) and the background of her body shot isn't the most appealing.... okay, here goes Bindy - head study Bindy from the back I'm open to thoughts from everyone!! Thanks in advance! Meagan :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huga Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 The both look fine on my monitor. The first one is a bit awkward, so I would probably turf that one. I actually really like the dog in the background of the second - has that one been cropped? I would probably give it a go in b&w and try to bring out the dog in the background a bit more.

kja Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 The exposure etc looks fine here, too. I'd try black & white just to see if you get more "feeling" into the images with a different process. #2 - I either want to know what Bindy is looking at so need more of the dog in the background or I want to want to know what she's looking at so need less of the dog in the background. I think you have some overall better images on your flickr (the flying shot of #8 is great!), but maybe not of this dog? It sounds like you know what isn't working in the images, so that's great for next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juddabug Whippets Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Thanks for all your thoughts! Much appreciated! Yes in the second shot she was on her way back towards her owners and their other dog. I will re-look at the original, though from memory it was tightly shot. Kja, just trying to figure out which photo you are referring to... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kja Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 for some reason facebook won't let me put a link in I think it's kinda in the middle of the set? She's wearing pink and is fully extended off the ground, coming at you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juddabug Whippets Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Ahhh that is Mysty! Yes different dog! Hehe! Glad you like that photo Kristin! Flickr... Facebook same diff :D It's funny what photos people like out of the sets! Sometimes it's the ones I barely gave a second glance too, like this one of Mysty that you mentioned! I added it so people can see which one you referred to. MnDM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kja Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Yup, that's the one. She looks sharp and the in-flight action is captured well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juddabug Whippets Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 Thanks Snook.... My trial of Lightroom ran out on Friday and I missed the Fed Ex guy to receive my Lightroom software on Friday as well... It should arrive on Monday and I'll be back into it all :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 OT but I worry about Bindy running hard on the track with that wonky leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juddabug Whippets Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 Yeah me too Linda, but she only goes about 20m, and it is done at her own leisurely pace too... purely for a bit of fun for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
