This past week in
photojournalism class, we were taught how to shoot a sports feature. As part of
my assignment we were to attend any sporting event and cover it. I attended my
first ever college women's basketball game played at Owens Community College. The
Owens Express faced off in the tournament against Lake Michigan's Red Hawks
this past Saturday
There were a few
problems while shooting an action sports game. First was the lighting in the
building. There were some spots that were very well lit and I had really good
correct exposure photos. Some of the pictures I took of people in the stands had bad
lighting which came out underexposed and a little
dark. The other pictures that had dark lighting I figured out by bumping my f-stop up would give me more light to play with.
The second reoccurring problem was my ability to focus on the subjects while in action. I had a lot of really good shots, but when the picture is amplified it had a lot of fuzz making the picture not acceptable to use.

I had a lot of fun
shooting the fans, the coaches’ reactions, and the intense action shots of each
member of the teams during the game on court. Even though I enjoyed myself, I
was overwhelmed with everything that was happening during the game. I had a
very hard time trying to multitask every moment I captured in picture, while
still trying to be aware of what was going on everywhere else in the field
house during the game.
Overall this was a good
experience for me to learn on what not to do on capturing photos during live
action sporting events.

I like the first one. The play with red really came through. Its a exciting shot with a lot of juice in the players and coach. If the backgound was Blurry, It would be a GREAT shot. Just my Two cents.
