BOC Week 3: Sports Photo

There are many type of sports photography; this is an example of youth sports photography. As in any sport there are many opportunities to take pictures during the course of the event, yet being in the right place at the right time can bring the best results. Learning to see the sporting event through the lens of a camera literally is the only way to be ready to capture the shot when it presents itself. This sounds easier than it actually is most of the time. It is an art to anticipate where the next play may happen, or where to stand to be able to capture the most and best action.
I adjusted the colors in lightroom to give it the extra feel I wanted in this shot, other than that it is the way it looked straight out of the camera. I liked this shot for the way that it is framed, as well as the way the white side line runs thru the frame. I also love the way the sky blew out in an ark across the horizon to just above the ball. The long shadows also create interesting lines on the field.
