Picture of the Day: A Rugby Game in Singapore

Photo by: richseow.

Found this pic in the recent uploads of Flickr. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular, but when I saw a little thumbnail of a sports pic I thought I’d check it out and see if it was any good. Turned out to be a decent shot of a rugby game in Singapore. There’s a quick enough shutter speed (1/1250th of a second) that there’s no motion blur at all. However, the image seems to be a little bit under-exposed. The turf is fine – nice and saturated – but the players are a little dark. This is exacerbated by the fact that they’re shadowed from the sun (note the faint shadow pointing emanating from #9′s foot). Mightta been a good candidate for an exposure compensation adjustment or just a little tweaking in Lightroom.
