I've been working on getting a different look for some of my sportraits of late. Beyond trying to get any sense of emotion out of a high schooler (everyone wants to look tough) I'm trying for something more interesting lighting wise and concept wise.
Once again, gotta reitterate about the ball on fire shots. Safety first. That's an f/22 shot with the ball on a light stand and about 3 feet between the two. I've seen that done before by a lot of people, including Pouya Dianat who works for the AJC. His had more flame and probably wasn't dealing with the wind that i was. Murphys law guaranteed that the minute we started playing with the fire, the wind would pick up quickly. And it did.
Jefferson Dragons running back Virgil Appleby on Monday, September 22, 2008. Appleby scored 4 touchdowns in Jefferson's 48-20 win over Oglethorpe County.
The other fun thing is that usually these things are scheduled for before practice, which means 3-3:30 PM. Hard to make things look dramatic with steep sunlight and 5-10 minutes with a player. I like the idea of building a plexiglass stage (or renting one) for some of the basketball ones, but these things take money.
