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.

The Catch II
Following up on yesterday’s post, how great is the look of surprise on this young athlete’s face?
Anticipation
The time at the plate is the most important in the mind of every five and six year old Baseball or Softball player. And when at the plate, all of the time is spent waiting for the pitch.
On the way…
Swing!
Golden Hour Lacrosse
I’ve said it before – golden hour is the greatest hour of light you can find, especially in the spring and fall. Thursday was no different. It really helps with a sport like Boys’ Lacrosse, where the helmets limit the amount of light that falls onto the faces normally.
However, golden hour means fully lit faces.
Lacrosse means action. The Boys game is quite aggressive, with the stick used not only to throw the ball but to attempt to dislodge it from your opponent’s stick.
The game seems to naturally lend itself to shooting tight, horizontal frames. The majority of action takes place above the waist, everything from passing to the previously mentioned stick checking and body checking.
There is good action down low though – so switching to the vertical orientation, or using another body can help.
