Thought I would post more photos from yesterday morning's practice.

This was the last morning practice, the rest will be from 3 to 6 pm.

None of those are posed photos, Kids were in the middle of practice and Coach gives me free rein to roam among the kids.

So, I know all the proper photo techniques are not employed, one because I don't know all of them, two because the kids are running jumping and moving with more speed and energy than I ever had at this age....and 57 years or so back I was not the worst of our H.S. Athletics.

Looking forward to the Season as always, gonna miss not having a grandson out there, but most of these kids are like my own grandsons....Good Kids...So very very proud of them...if our Society had the make up of these kids with no regard to pigment of skin or social status...all of us would be living in a better world. That is truly my hope for this young Generation, they grow up together, play together, have fun together, and all understand and accept each other as peers.

Excuse my getting on the stump, I'm off of it now..

Exposure is always going to be tough mid-day - the lighting is just to harsh. And white uniforms don't help. Shooting earlier or later would help. You also might want to work on keeping your horizon level.

Thanks, for the comments. appreciate them.

Taking photos in practice, 3:30-6:pm in hot humid West Florida, one does not get to choose the time of day, the uniform color, etc..

I did not PP, so angle of camera is out of the camera, never level at my old 74 years of age standing between 15-18 year olds going full speed.

I do appreciate sharing your suggestions and will use them to hopefully help improve my hobby.

First Game Thursday Night.


Blessings,

tom
