This is a shot that I took while covering my first event/sports shoot for my school.It was a inter-class girls badminton competition.
1. in what area is critique to be sought?
Is the picture too warm?
Is the crop of the umpire head suitable for this picture as I would like to change the focal point of this picture from the umpire himself to his hands only.
2. what one hopes to achieve with the piece of work?
I hope to move the focal point of this picture to the umpire hand himself ,thus cropping his head.The 2 girls and the badminton tells the viewer that this person is either a umpire even though he is not well distinguised or as a serious fan/coach that is in anyway in relation with this match - up.
3. under what circumstance is the picture taken? (physical conditions/emotions)
It was taken under very low lighting as the lighting from the hall was not well lit for me to freeze the players at the back.
I was limited to a 55-200VR on a tripod ass I thought I would be taking sports.
I had to take this picture in a rush because even when i put bulb mode(on a D40 which is quite slow 2.5fps)I was having trouble getting all three people in to the frame at my desired position.
4. what the critique seeker personally thinks of the picture
I thought that over it was a half good half bad picture.The good part was that I was able to capture the seriousness of the umpire rulling his stamps on the match-up.
The bad part would be the two girls.I thought that the position the front girl was not right.
