Town That Dreads Sundown Concept

Our concept is in the photo! First, we want to light the room just enough to see inside the building. Then light the victim brighter so we can actually see his expression.  We want to light the building very dimly so that the silhouette of the killer pops off the photo just a bit more. Backlight the killer so that he's just a silhouette with him holding up a gun.  YEAH.

First Try at Tennis!

ISO: 400   f/4.5   SS: 1/3200

This was my first attempt at shooting tennis!  They aren't perfect, definitely, but I thought it was pretty good.  I definitely had a problem exposing properly out there, walking from one end of the court to the other. There was sun on one side and shade on the other, but this was one of the ones I got right! :) I wish the subject wasn't so centered, but as far as exposure and such, I think I did a pretty good job.

Bad Way to Start the Year

 ISO: 1000  f/2.8   SS: 1/250

This photo is one of my better football photos, but it's still not that great.  First of all, my shutter speed was way too slow. 1/250? Really, Katie? Really? Ugh. Next, the feet. The feet are missing. Oh my god, the feet are missing.  I think it was because they were running toward me and I was zoomed in too far. I 'm really bad about that. I need to learn to give myself some room in sports photos, because I make this mistake a lot. It gets to be really frustrating...  Grr! Next game I shoot, I WILL! WILL! WILL! GET. THIS. RIGHT! GRR!
