Day 096, Year 2 - The 'Finish' At Mortlake

So this was my view during the second half of yesterday. I forgot to take my Fuji from my work bag so I only got a shot with my iPhone. I was doing a camera on top of the Anglian Boat Club where the Oxford & Cambridge teams come in to land on the stoney beach after crossing the Finish line. After the cold couple of days spent waiting for a quite a bit, the race, the finish, the presentation and then the quick and very warming de-rig, made the whole thing a great experience. I'm already looking forward to hopefully working on it again next year.
cool pic!

A beautiful scene but I would like to see it focused with the bridge! How exciting watching the race which had some NZ content, I believe!

@maggiemae Thank you. I did think long and hard about the fake tilt-shift effect and losing the bridge I decided I liked the pair of chairs. May have been better with the original DOF.

@steveh Thank you Steve!

You made the right choice Stevem, focusing on the chairs works much better. I have wanted to try a shot like this for a while, but keep forgetting!

@vokesy Thanks Andrew :)

I'd like to see it focused on the bridge too. I don't think the blur works that well there to be honest. It's too dominating as a blur effect.

another great shot! I think the blur works brilliantly, love the focus on the chairs.
