great low angle close ups!
Thanks for Your comment, I am the first to admit my photos need lots of improvements. I just enjoy going out and playing with my Camera, my old man toy.
There are so many things to know and learn, I look at lots of Photos on UHH and admire the talent, creative, those with the skill to produce some awesome photos...
I keep trying to improve, I am age 74 and love getting out with the Local High school Kids..with the Camera and enjoying their Zeal for life...Kids of this Generation are much different than my Generation in High School.
Our Grandson that played High School Football and excelled in it making All Conference Wide Receiver has graduated and moved on. (We have another Grandson in the School who is a great Basketball Player, an Honor Student, so we too are looking forward to Basketball Season)
Yet, all of the kids on the Team have called and wanted to know if I could be out for some practice time and all of their Football Games.
It is a big thrilled to be called "pop's of the rap's" by all the Youth in our Community, invited to practices, games and their annual banquets.
I told the kids, I would try, I have a pretty bad back that does limit some of my mobility as I tire...Especially with the Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 lens required for games under the lights at night.
Our local High School has an excellent Coach that really cares about the kids, puts academic first, then sports. He loves the fact that photos are taken of his kids, one of the Mom's post the photos on a High School Face Book page, where the kids can go see them and pull off the ones they wish to have. Coach tells us that the photos are big motivator's of both the Team and the Parents. We also do our best to get photos of the Band, Cheerleaders, ROTC Honor Guards, etc.
Hopefully the photos, will be good memories for these Young Men and Women when they look back on their High School Days.
