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.

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.

St. Pius X jumped out to an early 3-0 lead, which left GACS in a position of attempting to battle back. As in previous years, Madeline Barker (now a UGA signee) was heavily involved with leading the attack and contributed a goal. GACS ultimately brought the match to a 3-3 draw against the AAA St. Pius X.

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.

From here, it’s covering the game and looking for the action. At Hester Field, I’ll shoot from the home dugout and from a protected area between the home dugout and home plate.

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.
