What the heck, I can’t always shoot wildlife!
Becky, Dave and I have been shooting sports for several years now. Because wildlife photography is such isolated endeavor, it’s fun to get together with your photo friends and shoot something different. And actually, sports and wildlife photography are very similar in the types of gear that is used. In addition, you are shooting the same type of shot: fast moving, erratic subjects usually in less than ideal conditions. Just what every photographer dreams of; twitchy subjects, crappy weather, and poor lighting conditions! But we’re not complaining (much).
The last two weeks we were shooting the semifinals and finals of the NYS boys football championships. The semis were outside at UE stadium and the finals were at the Carrier Dome (or whatever they call it now). And let me tell you, the Dome is a photographer’s dream: warm, no rain and reasonably decent, constant light! I have posted just a few of the images from the tournament here. You can go to my website gallery for a few more, OR go to Beyond the Print to see all of the images from all three of us! Click the images to enlarge….
Obviously, we all had a great time and with any luck we’ll be back next year! Hope you enjoy them! And remember: Get out and shoot!
