Dig my volleyball photos!
Volleyball is one of those sports that is easy to shoot but very hard to shoot well. Everything happens in a micro seconds and it is super difficult to be there before it happens. I found out that some of this can be fixed by the size of the gymnasium. I shot at Plainwell and love that gym, tons of room behind the baseline. A couple other gyms I felt cramped and too close to the net. I also love that volleyball is now faster in terms of scoring. I remember being at a match that kept sideing out for like a half hour! The one downside to that is I can’t explore angles like I used too. I have to find a good angle and stick with it for most of the game. As it is said, everything is permeable.
The indoors beckons...
Yes it is that weird in between time where some sports seasons are coming to an end and others are ramping up for the beginning. Western Michigan Basketball played a pre season game against Kalamazoo College. It did the job, I am excited for basketball!
High School Playoffs are coming...
...and that means no more Friday night games and more Saturday day games! My favorite time of year! You can use bigger glass and get gorgeous light most times. I have not been to High School Football Championships at Ford Field in a long time so here is to crossing my fingers for Southwest Michigan Football!!!
Kick with your Feet
It is always hard to find something unique in some sports...golf and swimming come to mind immediately. After waiting for my equipment to defog I tried to think of a new angle. Here is what I came up with.
Soccer or Football...
The recent playoffs have seen me attend a few soccer games. I shoot sports all year round and out of all of them I see the most cheating, the most referee abuse and just plain disrespect for sportsmanship at soccer. Man Oh Man does it make for good pictures!
