Today I was at the horse race track taking some reference pictures. My digital camera like many others has a delay before the photo is taken. I noticed this again and again as I took the pictures of the horses being ridden and led. I quickly realized I was ending up with cropped compositions much like the ones drawn and painted by Degas. It was a bit comforting to think of them and not get so frustrated that the photos weren't always exactly what I planned. A horse heading into the shot, or out of it, cropped off dramatically, even by accident maybe just what was needed.
