Photo Assignment- SPORTING EVENT- Due July 30

[UtahsRebel]

John,
Ouch!! Remember, enlarging objects may be closer than they appear!

BTW, did you ever get to shoot the volleyball? There weren't any at your flickr.

I obviously have A LOT to learn about shooting indoors. I tried about 100 shots and not one of them was even remotely acceptable. Grainy, noisy, dark, and blurry were among the best, and I have no words to describe the worst.

Yeah, that was one of the reasons why I had made the move to a dSLR. This way I could get a lens which had an aperture that'd go wide enough for low light situations, and an ISO high enough.

I can't believe how little grain my Canon 40D generates at ISO 3200 when I'm shooting night shots of the soccer.

I know someday you'll move to a dSLR, and you'll enjoy it immensely.

Actually, I was able to trap it and flick it to the player for the throw in.

Now here was a good hit...

I'm on volleyball team but I can't seem to get a good action shot. I thought maybe I'd just post what I could get.

Nice shoes!

This kid's a great ball handler. The still photo doesn't do him justice.

 

[UtahsRebel]

I went to the ball park yesterday, hoping I could practice some action shots. Here's what I found.


These guys spent alot time trying to figure out who was going to play infield and ended up just flying away.

This is my grandson from his "homecoming game", and the second one is his sister, who was "homecoming queen". You gotta love grasscutter football.

I know I'm late on this one! Hope you guys don't mind

He was going UP, not down!

On a Unicycle? That is just nuts. Would be interesting to see someone do that in person though.

 

[UtahsRebel]

On a Unicycle? That is just nuts.
I agree! But cool, in a strange way.

rbraden,
I didn't even know they had "homecoming" for kids that young. Your grandson looks very intense and your granddaughter is just lovely.

UtahsRebel,

Yes, in the southeast youth football is a major event. It's a lot of fun to watch also. Thanks for the kind comments.

In the park across the street, we have really young ones practicing gridiron football. We call them 'bobble-heads' as their helmets are so large, they can barely control their heads!

And now a shot of 'real' football... :mrgreen:

Oh wait, he's using his hands!


:lmao::lmao::lmao:

 

[rbraden]

Great shot John (even if he is using his hands ). It is kinda funny to watch them at that age with those big helmets, and I guess they do kinda look like bobble heads. It's a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon though. (Really nice bike, by the way).
