Timing Practice 1



EQUIPMENT:
Nikon D1H
300 f/2.8 AF
300 MF

PROCESS:
During Small Format lab we practiced using the 300mm lenses for the first time. Our goal was to get a good action shot, including the person's face and the ball right infront of their hands. Timing was everything and motor drive really helped!

During Small Format lab we got to practice our timing skills, while some of the guys threw a football back and forth. I shot this photo with the 300mm manual focus lens. Not much to it, just practice!

Asheboro JV Football



EQUIPMENT:
Nikon D1H
300 f/2.8 AF
80-200 AF
Monopod!!

PROCESS:
Before the game started there was really nice light over the field. So, while the team was warming up I got a few shots. When the sun started going down I tried to use the schools 285 flash, but that stupid thing wouldn't work. And it also didn't help that the camera batteries said they were charged but died shortly after I turned on the camera. But anyways, there was no flash and barely any battery power. So, thats just a reminder to make sure everything works completely before getting out there, even though you try it once, then just try it again. Better safe than sorry!
