Do you shoot?

Depends who you are covering as to who gets the focus in that shot.

So I don't know if there's anything more annoying than taking a great championship photo and not having a newspaper to run it in.
Grabbed this for my side gig as a photog for a school yearbook company. Going to try to convince my sister paper to run it. Too bad they had their own photog at the game but I doubt he got this picture as he was on the other end. LOVE this picture. One of my favorites in a long time.
Thoughts?

You captured a very nice moment.

Wanted to share a couple of my most recent photos that I adore. Some are from the state Clash championship meet last weekend. Others are from recent events:

1.) A 4x4 handoff->

Love.

I also really dig the lacrosse photo.

'Du, your photos got me feeling nostalgic for the Granite State's borderlands.

Remember this?

I just re-read this entire thread, as well as the old photo thread. Love talking about this stuff.

I was shooting for a school photography company that covers the winning team. I was sitting on the field waiting for the kids to rush the goalie when the final whistle blew because they had just scored the game-winner not 30 seconds earlier. The losing team tried one last push but couldn't get a shot off and the kid in red fell to the ground right in front of me.
I was so focused on the winning team's goalie that I almost missed this kid but luckily I took a second to process the overall picture of what I was seeing and quickly adjusted, shot off a few bursts and managed to get the kid from the winners jumping in the air at the exact right moment.
I love this pic.

I do remember that day in Quechee. I believe that was one of our combined efforts.

You did a great job for those few months.

This was my action shot for the polo story.

I wish that had worked out better. I think there were some good stories waiting for us to tell together. C'est la vie.

Somebody show us a picture!

Man. I've been so fortunate lately with great championship games going down to the wire and me in perfect position to get lucky reaction shots. Got this one at a softball game today. I was shooting this for our paper and the team in red (our local team) won the championship with a double in the bottom of the seventh inning by the girl smiling. Hope we run this one nice and large.

I have to shoot a portrait for a feature in the next few days. It's my first ashignment in forever. I felt like I'd made some progress with shots last year, but I honestly now forget everything I learned. Meh.

That is very forking good, dude.

Thanks. I'm not going to lie. I was really happy when I saw that. Totally redeemed what had been kind of a meh effort by me on the day as the field I was shooting at only allowed photographers to stand in one spot on the third base side because of "liability issues."
I guess I shouldn't complain too much.

Does anyone here sell themselves as a sports photographer or outdoor event photographer to soccer moms and others for a few extra bucks?

Does it work? How much do you charge?
