2011 Midway Football Services – How to Get Your Athlete Photographed

admin — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 01:05:38 +0000

Photographs to capture your athlete at the peak of his performance, whether it’s their first year on the sidelines or they are a returning veteran are available as a service to Midway Football and Cheerleading families as well as other Forsyth County Youth Football families.

Step 1: REQUEST

ATHLETES WILL ONLY BE PHOTOGRAPHED UPON REQUEST AND BY APPOINTMENT.

In order to better serve interested families, I will only be photographing athletes upon request. To provide more choice in images to these families, I will not be photographing players who have not been requested.

E-mail Dennis Murray or use our contact form or call (Mobile: 678-200-4585) and tell us the team, age group, and athlete’s jersey number as well as the best way to contact you. I’ll check my schedule and let you know when your athlete can be photographed.

Step 2: GET PHOTOGRAPHED

Once you’ve made your request, I’ll be out to photograph your athlete as soon schedules permit.

Now in my sixth year of photographing high school sports (and especially football), as well as my third year of involvement with Forsyth County Youth Football, I know the sports inside and out from behind a camera. I personally handle all of the photography, so please say hello on gameday!

Step 3: REVIEW

After games are photographed, athlete photographs will be on-line for review, selection and puchase. A 15% discount will be offered for the first 10 days photographs are posted on-line (and the team’s gallery will be on sale again if the team is photographed a second time).

Need help picking? Ask for help! By the time you see the photograph online, I’ve already seen it several times – through the lens and reviewing before posting. I can help you select the best sizes and options for your print as well.

Step 4: CHOOSE YOUR DELIVERY

The best choice for remembering the season? One of our full color Sports Photo Books features a custom layout that tells the story of your season through the regular season, playoffs, and possibly as far as the Lanier Bowl! Add in an Athlete Portrait session where your athlete will be photographed like a professional – and it’s a complete story of the season. Check out one of our books from last year. Books will require additional coverage during the season, so make sure you contact us now for books.

Want to make your own book, or include the photographs in your Christmas cards and print as much as you like? Athlete Digital Image Collections give you the full resolution digital image files for your personal use and license to reprint as you wish, delivered on disc with a custom printed full color cover. Athlete CD’s will be priced at $80 for up to 20 digital image files, or $150 for the full season. Full season coverage will ensure that at least two of your athlete’s games are photographed.

We also have a full range of prints available, from 5×7′s all the way up to 16×24 and most sizes in between. Add in options like Float Wraps (a modern, wall ready print) and there are a multitude of choices. All of our prints are lab printed using a chemical process – the same as printed from film (not ink jet prints). Black and white options are also available.

Above all, we are open to requests and accept custom requests as well.

2011 Midway Park Baseball and Softball Action Photography Services

admin — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 01:44:50 +0000

Dennis Murray Photography is partnering with Midway Park Baseball and Softball for the third consecutive season to provide the best in-game action photography to athletes and their families in all age groups.

Step 1: REQUEST AND DEPOSIT

ATHLETES WILL ONLY BE PHOTOGRAPHED UPON REQUEST AND RECEIPT OF DEPOSIT THIS YEAR.

Single Athlete: Deposit of $25, with the full deposit amount credited towards your print or digital image purchase

Full Team: Deposit of $200, with the full amount credited toward the purchase of a team digital image collection ($450). A full team shoot will allow all families on the team to receive a disc with all photographs taken during the game. With 10-12 families participating, this is a great discount versus the regular prices!

Make your deposit and schedule your coverage now! Please include age group and team name in the order notes.

Step 2: GET PHOTOGRAPHED

Once you’ve made your request, I’ll be out to photograph your athlete as soon schedules and weather permit. My first choice is to always photograph in twilight or daylight and avoid night games purely lit by the park lights.

Now in my fifth year of photographing high school sports (and with a lot of Baseball and Softball experience), as well as my third year of involvement with Forsyth County Youth Football, I know the sports inside and out from behind a camera. We can talk on game day to get any last minute information and to ensure I know where your son or daughter will be playing.

Step 3: REVIEW

After games are photographed, athlete photographs will be on-line for review, selection and puchase. A 15% discount will be offered for the first 10 days photographs are posted on-line.

Step 4: CHOOSE YOUR DELIVERY

The best choice for remembering the season? One of our full color Sports Photo Books features a custom layout that tells the story of your season through the regular season.

Above all, we are open to requests and accept custom requests as well.

Pre-game light during September makes for great band candids.

Fall Softball

admin — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 05:00:39 +0000

Believe it or not, before this past August – I had never photographed any of Greater Atlanta Christian School’s many softball teams in the past four years I’ve worked with Martin Photography. So it was a new experience – although my photography at Midway Park has given a wide range of softball experience.

Multi-sport athletes are the norm at GAC. She’s also been prominent on the basketball court.

That’s the pitch passing in front of this fielder.

It’s actually more difficult to frame the low delivery of a fast pitch pitcher than a baseball pitcher.

Safe at the plate as the ball bounces free!

Firing Off

This is what coaches call “Firing Off the Ball.”

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!

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

admin — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 17:45:23 +0000

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.

Unusual framing can be offered by the opponents. Lakeview’s purple and gold was a great contrast to the white of Liberty.

Shooting ultra-tight (with a 300mm/f2.8 lens, or with a 1.4 teleconverter on the same lens) let me focus on Knight taking on the defensive line rushing.

As the evening grew later, some great combinations of light and shadow put a spot light on Knight’s face as he ran through the light in between shadows.
