Each week, the BFP’s chief photographer Anita Ross Marshall chooses her favourite pictures from the archives.
Many, many, moons ago I met a very wise man who told me that all the skill of a picture is in the edit - not in the darkroom or now Photoshop – but, when you press the shutter.
It is a very rare thing for me to cut an image - what I take is what you get. Everything should be correct at the time of capture.
And yet I hear so many photographers who try and "find" or "sort" that moment afterwards on a laptop.
That same very wise man also told me, if it’s not in the viewfinder in the first place, no amount of looking via a machine will find it.
However, I did ask very kindly this member of the Wycombe Eagles Cheerleading Senior Squad not to hit the camera as she flew over - and crossed everything as she flew past.
Camera info: Canon EOS 1D Mark 3, Lens 16-35, Focal Length 16mm, 1/640 sec, f13, ISO 400.
