Editing the images

Using adobe bridge and photoshop and camera raw, I managed to edit down from 150 usable images from inside the racecourse, with the subjects i wanted and a few context images from outside the ground and on the edge of the property from every angle. Bringing the highlights out slightly to make the flash a bit more obvious and just create more contrast than originally made by the camera or the scene/ lighting. I decided I want to use the shots where, people are interested and seem occupied by something beyond the camera or making an exchange of money or bets in the centre grounds. with the frame full and a lot going on to represent the nature of the event and they days I was there specifically. I will use a few context shots at the start and end of the edit to create a build up in the middle of the energy felt in that scene. In the middle of it all was shouting and money being exchanged hand in hand all the time and alcohol being drunk in the gallons.
