Escape
I was photographing one of the high school plays and was able to grab this shot of the actress running to get away. It happened very quickly and I was excited that I was able to get this composition with her pursuers face visible but out of focus while her face is hidden turned towards him as she runs to get away from him. Shot on a Nikon D7200 with 18-300mm lens at 100mm, 1/125, f/5.6, ISO 3600 by Mark McDaid.
Post processing notes:
All editing was done in ON1. I used a LUT filter to color grade the image, cropped it, applied a vignette, and used local adjustments with gradient masks and a depth mask to focus the viewers attention on the actress and her pursuer. NoNoise AI was used to eliminate noise from the final image.Exif information:
