HDR Photography
The camera hardware required to get a pin-sharp image of a horse galloping at the center of a spotlight in a darkened indoor stadium has never been more accessible, but it serves as a bit of a contrast to Friday’s post: At the end of the day, raw numbers of photons entering through a big aperture to a large sensor can’t be beat.
Saturday night at CSI Ommen was action-packed; before the Puissance, equestrian artist Laury Tisseur demonstrated feats of horsemanship including what I might best describe as horse-skiing.
This winning moment from CSI Ommen’s Saturday-night puissance (jumping an increasingly tall wall of hollow blocks) is impressive to me for two reasons. The most obvious is the incredible height this horse is successfully clearing. Just as amazing to this American is the huge turnout of spectators present in both the foreground and background—far beyond what is seen at most US events.
