only figures... i joined just after the last sports challenge, and am currently broken for this sports challenge... sigh
and i've noticed that sports photography is not very popular here (imho) really woulda liked to enter this one :(
i don't think action / event capture photography is well respected on dpc, too bad, as it is a skill that adds so much to ones regular photography.
now if there were any sports going on in January...
Previous "sports" were May, May, July and September. There are always sports in progress, but the venues are different in winter, obviously. Also, previous "sports" challenges were under the basic ruleset. This newest one is under Advanced. That does help in winter, as the light (indoors or outdoors) is sometimes difficult.
now if there were any sports going on in January...
Go north my friend, go north.
I'm covering three different sports for the newspaper this week. Basketball, wrestling, and Hockey. There is indoor track going on as well. And I'm in the midwest.
This seems to be right up my alley! I might enter a challenge! LOL
I kinda noticed you were still hanging around. So much for that tearful goodbye...
Tearful? Naah, but I did realize that I could contribute here now and then to a discussion. I even paid a membership to help the site. When Langdon announced he was going to do some upgrades to the site I had hoped for a return to it's glory when the site was fun. So I'm here just to watch and see what happens, and maybe help it along. Besides it's winter and instead of 9 sports to cover for me there are just 3.
first snow of the year here as well, so in the end... nah, with a healthy hand i would have found someone doing something sporting.
as a suggestion to those with snow and no sports: fast shutter capture a snow ball fight, or a exploding snowball on impact :)
get those kids out side to ''take one for the team''!!
went out and bought a 1.4x teleconverter for this and snow and ice have stopped the games i had lined up, might see if ive got a shoe horn but be first challenge in a while ive not entered :(
