BASKETBALL BANQUET

Tuscarora and Atlee High School Tipoff 2-25-17

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.
