Betters watch the races on the TV screens in anticipation
at Hollywood Park Friday, November 2, in Inglewood,
CA.
Cal State Fullerton student and SportsShooter.com member
Carlos Delgado won the second Photo of the Day at Sports
Shooter Academy III currently underway in Southern California.
Delgado's photograph of betters staring at TV monitors
at Hollywood Park Race Track was described by workshop
faculty member and SportsShooter.com member Donald Miralle
of Getty Images as "unique" and attention-grabbing".
The winning photo caused a debate during the SSA III
slide show/critique session Friday evening as faculty
members compared Delgado's photograph with a traditional
sports action photograph of
an airborne soccer goalie missing a shot block during
the Big West Conference Women's Soccer Tournament taken
by SportsShooter.com member Joy Absalon.
"You have to love that (Delgado) went inside,
went away from the usual action photo and looked for
a feature photo," Miralle added.
Orange County Register sports picture editor and SportsShooter.com
member Eugene Tanner, who is helping with the editing
and critiques said "That's a killer action photo,"
about the soccer photo, "But with the (horse racing
feature) photo you can look and look and look and always
see
something different. There are so many interesting faces
in this photograph it makes you stop and look at it
for a long time."
Other sports on the workshop schedule Friday were volleyball,
swimming and diving, rugby and beach volleyball. Also
Miralle conducted an underwater photography session
prior to a group of SSA participants covering the Annual
Big West Shootout Swim Meet.
