Shots from the 2008 Gateway Classic in Lake City, Florida are up on the site.
The color consistency is to cry for, which at least accurately represents the lighting at various points on the stage.
Judging, like photography, is a visual art, and the impact that good, even lighting has on the equitable presentation of competitors cannot be overemphasized.
(Well, actually, it can. You could say something like, “If one guy’s in shadow and the other guy’s in good light, plague and pestilence will reign upon the land!” and you’d be completely out of the ballpark and no one would invite you to parties any more. But good and balanced lighting is still *very* important.)
Apropos nothing, if the price of gas stays the way it is, I’m going to have to cut some of the shows from the plan this year.
