Number one is a beautiful shot in every way. Number two not so much. The biggest problem I see in number two is the cluttered ceiling for a background. Number one would make a great sports mag cover. Nice work.


I would think the angle of the shot really shows the height of the jump (even exaggerates it) which is really big for a player. The lighting treatment makes the background recede beautifully and highlights the player and ball. For me, the gym structure gives place and story to the photo. I didn't even notice the ceiling structure (maybe because as a setter, I am always looking back up at the ceiling when running offense)

You captured and processed this shot very well.

Wow...... These two images are amazing. You are the inspiration for people photography here on the hog. And your willingness to always take the time to help others learn is much appreciated.

Another high school senior. I did not put this in the sports section since it is a session with "posed" action, not in competition. These are a part of her portrait session.

Lighting is by two Einstein units in 12x36 gridded strip banks. Lots of shots to finally get the ball where we need it, the form correct, and no "ugly" expressions.


Beautiful Pictures Thanks DelRae

Zombie thread... Sadly CaptainC left UHH many many months ago...
He was one of the few commercial shooters still on UHH.
Here's his commercial web portal https://clifflawsonphotography.com/

So why did he leave?
The answer is latent within this thread...
https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-654839-1.html It's Cliff's last post on UHH.

BTW: I share his sentiments here entirely... And the reason I've been avoiding UHH as it has now become a cesspool of misinformation, mediocre photographers and a myriad of camera kit consumers... few if any commercial photographers left...

Wishing all happiness and above all good health...
Please stay safe!

I thought UHH was open to mediocre photographers, I guess I'll have to leave too.
