Best photo of 2007
In 2007 I took only 872 photos. In looking through them I managed to find a good one. Here is my best photo of the year.
Labels: best of, horse, horse ride, photo, trail
The tree in the foreground is the focus of the photo - I would have preferred to see it as an unfocused element, with any of the blokes on horseback as the focus point. I think that would still have given you plenty of that beautiful sunlight, and at the same time helped to emphasise the ephemeral nature of the experience for the riders.
Having that foreground tree as the focus keeps drawing my eyes to it rather than the light or the riders - almost with a clang!
I'm also curious about what sort of camera and lens were you using - I certainly don't find it easy to take good photographs (I'm very much a beginner) and I like to know as much as I can about each photo that I see.
Cheers,
James
The camera is an older Olympus c-2040, 2.1 megapixel (your phone is probably better.) No fancy lenses.
