I chose this from my action assignment because I think this photo really reflects the category of action. I like the action effect with the opponent runner pushing it in the last ten meters to the finish line. I also like the focus of the three runners because most of them are in focus except for the fast action of them sprinting in motion. I think this is a really cool photo I took for my action assignment because it makes this photo very intense to look at as David is striving to beat the Cardinal Spellman track runner to the finish line of the 100 meter dash. I like this photo also because it fits a candid action photo as well. If they were looking I think it wouldn't capture the full effect of action in this photo. I also like how the focus is on David's sneakers because it captures an action effect as well. I like the angle I took this photo because it shows a coach's point of view too. I had to rush quickly to turn my camera on in order to capture this photo in time because it was getting intense in the 100 meter sprint. In the bottom photo I added a focal zoom effect to capture the action of the three runners in competition for 1st 2nd or 3rd place. I like the close distance between David and the Cardinal Spellman runner in almost touching the finish line. I also like the focal effect because it blurs out the non-important things in the background of the track like the grandstands and the fence and part of the lane numbers. I also like the expressions of the runners because it also captures the full effect of action too. It shows their mission and determination and advancement to win the sprint. I also like the stance of the runners when they are pushing for the finish line because it captures the action of this photo. I also like the motion of the runners legs dashing at full speed because it also shows the intense athletic action in this photo. I also think this photo has another candid perspective because my friend Nick is further back running behind the runners closer in this photo, and he also is laughing too as he is advancing towards the finish line. I like the lighting of the runners because it isn't too bright and exposed to make it difficult to see them clearly. If I was going to retake this photo I wish I could change the framing just a little bit because you can some athletic sports bags on the right corner which can be distracting. I also wish the sky wasn't too overexposed because it flushes out some details of the clouds, and it removes some details of the tops of the trees behind the grandstands. I took this photo without flash, I used macro, auto focus adjustments, natural lighting, auto white balance adjustments, and used Picasa to edit the bottom photo with the focal zoom effect to make the runners in motion action more dramatic to the viewer.

This is one of the best action photos i've personally seen this year in this class. In the second photo, it looks like you are actually running with the runners as they run. It's very interesting when you think about it. I'm very interested in how you did this type of edit. I also like the way the lines in the photo came out after the edit. It needs to be in motion and thats exactly what you did. I like how the runners look like they are closing in for the home stretch. I also like how the clouds look like they are in motion also with the photo and the way of the runners. The main part of the photo, the runners and you did a great job on capturing the runners and basically doing what they do, running.
