I’m beginning a new tutorial series today on the basics of sports photography, presented in respect to coverage I’ve done in Michigan. I’ll be presenting the subsequent lecture sessions to students at the Michigan Daily too, so hopefully these will get some good mileage.
Comments, questions and suggestions are welcomed as always!
There’s always a time for firsts, and this past weekend was my first time to shoot bowling, at the Michigan High School State Bowling Championships:
The event was held at Airport Lanes in Jackson, Mich.
I couldn’t use flash for most of the competition, and had to keep very far away, so my 300mm lens was essential.
This young man won the whole thing in the end.
The girls competed at the same time.
Some kids had very interesting form.
Frustration with performance.
Some kids had some very good form.
The excitement of a hard-fought strike.
Even emo boys bowl?!
The helplessness of a bad throw.
By the time of the final rounds, all eyes were on a few.
The victor.
