Keeneland began it's fall meet this past weekend and I finally got a chance to upload some photos. The weather was absolutely perfect for attending the races but the clear skies also created a harsh sun and heavy contrast to the photos. Learning how to shoot Keeneland during the harsh light has been a lot of trial and error. The challenge becomes finding ways to work with the light instead of working against it. I looked for different angles this weekend and ways to make the back lighting more dramatic instead of just overexposing the background to get detail in the subject. I am posting a variety of different shots I explored and hope you like the results. The weather is calling for overcast skies and a chance of rain the next few days. I love shooting the low light and soft contrast in low light conditions. But the challenge then becomes shutter speed and depth of field. I will post some low light shots soon to compare against the high contrast shots in this post. Enjoy!
