About the Image(s)
I went to Potomac Falls outside Washington DC with the intention of taking landscape photographs of the falls. Some kayakers showed up and had fun in the white water below the falls, so I took the opportunity to photograph them.
Canon 5D Mk 4 with 100-400mm lens at 370mm. Manual exposure at 1/800 sec and f 7.1 Handheld, with Auto ISO at 200.
Edited in Lightroom
Cropped to focus on the subject. Lowered the highlights because of the white water. Slight increase in vibrance and saturation.
I look forward to the comments and upgrades. I am learning a lot from all the different comments about all the photographs in the group.

I think it's a great journalism shot even though centered. Your correction of placement makes it even better. The shot shows the kayaker's face so well, deep concentration. Everything is sharp but the water is really riled up making it look dangerous, which I assume it was. The boat being red also helps. I think it's just about perfect for journalism.   Posted: 10/16/2021 13:24:34
