Sports Photography Assignment

The sports photography assignment has been my favorite so far.  I love how it’s fast-paced and action-packed, and it helps that I love watching most sports.  I still struggle with getting my target in focus, but I suppose that comes with practice.  Another thing I struggled with was getting pictures of the players’ faces rather than their backs.  Overall, this was my favorite picture.

Leanna Baldner vs Danielle Au

I felt like this picture really captured what I was trying to accomplish for most of the game.  It’s an in-focus action shot centered on the conflict.  The two players are battling for the ball.  Cropping the photo to focus more on the two players might improve the photo.

This was my favorite celebration shot.  I saw it coming and was really exciting when I managed to get a picture of it.  My biggest complaint is that it isn’t as sharp as it could be, which I need to work on in every aspect of my photography, not just sports.  I seem to have a problem keeping the subject in focus.
