Tuscarora and Atlee High School Tipoff 2-25-17
Canon EOS 70D, 1/640sec., f2.8 80mm ISO 4000 |
A week ago, the Tuscarora High School Girls Basketball team
had their end of season banquet. It was
a nice to see the girls enjoying the recognition for their achievement throughout
the season. The Team Mom had a student develop a slide show from the picture I
took at the games and showed them throughout the event. The coach recognized me
for the photography. The best part?
Getting a thank you card from the girls with notes thanking me for the
pictures.
I have long enjoyed taking pictures at sports events. It has
mostly been youth sports as a spectator.
But it was different this season.
Last year, the local paper used a picture I took, as a spectator. The coach liked it and asked me to be the
team photographer. I accepted and had a great
time at the games and improving my skills.
I even succeeded in getting four photos in the print edition of the
Loudoun Times Mirror newspaper!
One picture kept eluding me until the final game – a good
tipoff shot!. Using a fast shutter burst
I o finally got one with both girls touching the ball. Already I am missing the games and look
forward to next season.
