Asheboro Baseball





EQUIPMENT:
Canon 30D
70-200mm
Nikon D1H
300AF

PROCESS:
I went to the Asheboro vs. Eastern Randolph game on Friday afternoon with one shot in mind. I wanted to get a photo of the person leading off from first base sliding back to the plate. It was not a difficult shot to get, but getting the players face and eyes was difficult because they naturally looked down when sliding... But, another shot I challenged myself with was getting the pitcher throwing a pitch with the ball right on his finger tips, which was definitly hard, but once it was accomplished, getting more shots like it was not difficult.

Rich's Tree Service




EQUIPMENT:
Nikon D1H
300 AF 2.8
Canon 30D
70-200mm

PROCESS:
This guy was cutting down a tree behind my apartment complex and the sun was right behind him. The clouds were moving a lot so I kept getting different exposures, flare, and a different background... I wanted to do a sillouette and a regular photo, so I took many shots of each...

NC High School Basketball Championship










EQUIPMENT:
Canon 30D
70-200mm
Nikon D1H
17-35mm
PROCESS:
I went to photograph the NC High School Basketball Championships in the Dean Dome at UNC for the Carolina Peacemaker. I used the Canon 70-200mm for the game photos and fan photos. After South View defeated Grimsley I used the Nikon 17-35mm to get close up photographs of the celebration.

Tae Kwon Do











EQUIPMENT:
Canon 30D
17-40mm
70-200mm
PROCESS:
I photographed a Tae Kwon Do class for a soundslides project for photojournalism. If I could change one thing about it, I would go back and set up lights. When I first went to the academy to ask permission to shoot the light seemed just fine, with the large windows on the right of the building, so I didn't think to bring any lights. I dont know what I was thinking :-(

The Growing Place Child Care Center













EQUIPMENT:
Canon 30D
70-200mm
17-40mm

PROCESS:
After shooting at the Growing Place once before, I wanted to go back and do my feature photo story on the whole daycare. I followed around the "3's" as they call them, which is the 3-year-olds class, for a day. I wanted to get a photo illustrating what they do each day at the daycare, like recess, nap, lunch, centers, and story time.
