Are you right at ground level? I don't mean inside the field but on
a riser of som kind because in each of your photos it seems you are
slightly above ground level from the angles. Which by the way are
better in these cases than standing on the ground?
Thanks, Ted, for your comments.
I've just realized that I never answered your question, so, better
late than never...
I was at ground level, but standing. I tried squatting, but (a) it
was uncomfortable, for long periods, and (b) the angle seemed to
include more of the background. By standing, I was able to "clean
up" some of the background clutter, by including more of the
ground. But, no, I was not on a riser... at the Falkland Rodeo
Grounds, the stands are back another 25 meters and elevated about 8
meters. And there are no smaller risers, nearby. The stands are
great for viewing --- not so great for photography.
Thanks for looking!
Cheers!
