Sports Photographer

Vacation Time is Over

Once again, it's been some time since I posted. I took some vacation and have been busy with jobs I can't post yet. Lisa and I had a great time on vacation. We started in Coco Beach, the Hilton on the Atlantic side. It's been some time since we stayed on the Atlantic side of Florida. We headed off to the beach, and the surf was great for the surfers. I had to bring my camera down.

I headed down and used my 100-400 with a 2x adapter. I believe I was in shutter priority at 2000 and ISO in auto. I like this mode when things are bright and I want to stop motion. (like birds flying) I had fun that day. Next found out that they were going to have a rocket launch. They tried three times, but it was not my day; it did not happen. While on the beach, I played around with airplanes and, of course, the seagulls. Next was getting ready for the Cruise ship.

Entering Sports

It’s been some time. But I am getting back into sports again, not playing, but taking pictures. I have expanded my photography by doing team and individual photos.

Bryan Softball Girl Association asked me if I would be interested in taking this year's photos. I felt pretty good about doing it but never did it before. However, I felt very comfortable doing it. After all, do headshots and group photos s today.

With that in mind, I used a 3 light setup. My backlight I made the artificial sun, knowing what background I would use for the finals. What I had to learn where all the different print formats we were offering and placing orders for them. (button, bottles, coffee cups, and so on)

Like any new adventure, you will always learn something. For me, I am looking forward to expanding my business with Sports. Feel free to contact me if you are looking for help for your team for association in Northwest Ohio and the surrounding area in Indiana and Michigan.
