yes, sports. yes, in focus and properly exposed. compelling? interesting? visually appealing? eh, not really...
ask yourself: is there any other way you could have approached this opportunity that could have resulted in an interesting, compelling image? most likely. it's ok to grab a safety, documentary shot, but that's not what's going to capture the votes.
one of the most important things to do is to be aware of your backgrounds. do the best you can to avoid or mitigate background clutter that can distract your viewers. isolate your subjects.
and, whenever possible, shoot the verb. try to visualize this. if you had moved down to the line the kids were on and gotten slightly out in front, just enough to see down the line. and then you waited until they were all throwing. now *that* would have been a shot!
all the same, keep on clicking! hope you're having fun with it! |
