FIRING RANGE: Intel From The Photographic Trenches

FIRING RANGE - June 27th, 2011
Intel From The Photographic Trenches
By Nate Adams

So many solid images come across my desk here in the ESM Photo Department that it would be nearly impossible to run all the good ones, even with the website and the print mag offering us increased opportunities. Sometimes a shot isn't timely enough. Sometimes a sponsor change can render it unusable. Sometimes a similar angle showing up in another outlet can doom it to hard drive purgatory. And sometimes a minor technical issue can mar an otherwise flawless image. My goal with this Firing Range Photo Blog is to give many of these shots, surfers, and photographers the exposure they deserve — even if accepted knowledge says it shouldn't work out. It’s been a little while since I’ve done a Firing Range feature talking about the good, the bad, and the ugly, so it only felt right to do one this go-around about the good, from various compositions and framing to frothy speed blurs to downright nasty maneuvers!
