JN134 Week 7 Blog

Topic 1: Shooting Sports
1. The first tip that really stood our for me from Scobel was about having some great zoom lenses. Thrown into those tips was to never let your lens just take in sunlight because it will damage them. However, the main point, by her having a really good zoom lens, her photos make her seem really close to the action. She was able to get some incredible closeups while still being 30-40 yards away.
2. The second tip that will stick with me was related to how to interact with other photographers on the sideline. I kind of figured that presenting yourself as extremely confident and self-assured would deter people from trying to push you around. Scobel was explaining that by presenting yourself as very friendly and asking questions about whether or not you're interfering with their shots, people are more likely to reciprocate that treatment.

TOPIC 2: ACTION/SPORTS PHOTOS -- Now that you've got some tips on how to shoot action ...

My sports subject will be a soccer class at LBCC Albany campus in the field by the track, that takes place on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
    1. OVERALL -- I will photograph the students stretching out and warming up for the soccer game.
    2. MEDIUM -- I will photograph two or three players trying to get the ball away from eachother
    3. CLOSEUP/DETAIL -- I want to get a closeup of a foot hitting the soccer ball and hopefully get the ball flexing with the foot making contact.
