Cross-country running practice one afternoon as the sun was setting. Man I love the light out here. Still it does amaze me. I try not to use fill-flash (yeah sorry photo editors who like fill-flash) when I can use the natural southwest glowing light instead.
This week I had some issues with the Nikon bodies the paper kept giving me to use with the 300mm. Let's just say I'm now on body #3 and so far so good. So I had to shoot Lobos practice and one of the cameras failed on me and left me with my 70-200 and 16-35. In my despair I kept thinking the guys lined up on the sideline reminded me of the cast of A Chorus Line. It made me smile.
Monday was the first day of high school sports practices and I was lucky enough to be assigned a photo essay on it for one high school. I LOVE doing this type of thing. Who doesn't right? I was challenged to cover 5 practices: football, cross-country, girls soccer, volleyball and boys soccer. It was a mad rush as most of the teams held practice at the same time, but somehow it got done. I'm pretty happy with the results of a 3 hour job for one essay. Below are the photos in color and some outtakes.
They only wanted one photo per sport so these were cut.
