First, I asked to do this purely as a favor for the parents because they never did team photos. I figured I could use it as practice, and they aren't all that great, but I wasn't exactly prepared to do it, either. I happened to have my camera and they asked me to take them, so I said "Sure, why not?"
I didn't do the best job here, but it was a really good chance for some "real world" photo practice. The lighting was horrible because it was just late enough in the day that the sun was casting ridiculously large shadows, and I had no flash. So here's this kid and the sun is on home plate, and there would be parents in the background even if there wasn't. I'm rushing to get these done before the game starts.
AND I THOUGHT IT WAS GREAT! Because... maybe the pictures aren't exactly perfect professional quality, but the parents are really happy that they have these photos now! I had some experience with a "Hey, can you get this whole team shot in 15 minutes," and as it turns out, yes I can. They're getting the photos for free, of course, so this was purely good for the experience. I really loved working with the kids, and the rush, and getting the chance to do this kind of work!
