Brink in mid-race

Nevada City, California

It's funny the highlights in this shot are so blown out. At this point in my photographic awareness I'd read Ansel Adams' books The Negative and The Print and was well aware of the zone system....but obviously I overdeveloped my Tri-X. What an improvement digital is!

It may not be technically perfect, what with that loss of information--but it IS beautiful. May not be ideal as photojournalism--but works, as art. It's a great photo.
