One of the things I’ll hear anytime when the weather turns for the worse – like it did at the 2010 Athens Invitational Tournament – is that people can’t believe I still photograph games in the rain.
I’m all-weather – and I’ve found some great photographs are there for the taking when the weather turns bad. This series was immediately after the tournament resumed following a one-hour long downpour that left the fields a little flooded!
Portrait of a Catcher
The big telephoto lenses – like Canon’s 300mm F2.8 IS – aren’t just for taking pictures of things that are far away. They also do great with nice tightly framed shots.
Lucky Winner
Way back in August I donated a free action photography session to the Midway Wolverines Football Kick-Off Date. The lucky winners, the Bankston family, asked me to photograph their son Knight. Knight plays football at Liberty Middle School in Forsyth County.
Liberty took on Lakeview Middle School (also Forsyth County) in the match up. As with many Middle School games, it was a beautiful late afternoon start which meant great light throughout the game.
Knight plays offensive line. It’s unusual that you see Offensive Lineman pictures in newspapers or magazines – usually the “Action” of the game is more limited to the ball carriers. Look deeper – and there’s a lot going on at the line.
