Back Outdoors!
Last week was not only the official start of Spring, but was also what I mark Spring with: returning to Outdoors sports after several months of indoor sports. My first assignment this spring was back to Greater Atlanta Christian School to photograph a Boys’ and Girls’ Soccer doubleheader.
Girls Basketball: Off and Running
Friday night Greater Atlanta Christian hosted regional opponent Avondale High School for a Region 6 AA match up. From the first tip, Greater Atlanta Christian started the game with the normal press defense and quickly mounted a big lead. By the half, GAC was leading 51-6.
Early Spring Baseball
While it was only the seventh day of March, it’s not how I remember March being for Baseball. Greater Atlanta Christian School welcomed Chamblee High School to Hester Field on GAC’s Norcross campus in temperatures in the mid seventies and sunny.
I usually will start photographing baseball games by working isolation shots of the pitcher. It’s a quick start and gets some good material. There are two really clean views of the pitcher – from head on and from the side.
Lacrosse Senior Night
Lacrosse Senior Night turned out to be almost a non-event, as the combined girls and boys teams had one senior. However, both teams turned out to be dominant against the visiting Gainesville squads (who have a similar level of experience to GAC’s squads).
Lacrosse quickly became a favorite sport to shoot over the past two seasons. The action is constant, and the sport begs to be shot tight.
