Just like most photographers, I shoot a ton of sports. This year was no exception. Compared to the past few years, it seems like I shot a wider variety of sports this year than usual. I shot a few sports I had never photographed before including hockey, golf and soccer. So continuing with the year in review posts, here are my 15 favorite sports shots from this year.
After a day in the snow and cold weather on Sunday, I retreated today to the friendly confines of some of the darkest gyms in the world … or at least it seemed that way. I shot a large boys and girls basketball tournament over in Bloomington, Ill. This first game was in the morning and the second game was a few hours later. It ended up being one of those hurry up and wait kind of days along with my second consecutive work day were I logged 11 or more hours on the clock. For all the stuff I shot, my three favorites came in the second game. I got a little creative (bored) and tried some panning since there were some bright spots of color in the background.
My only assignment today was the Rivermen hockey game. The game was a blowout as the Rivermen cruised to a 4-0 win over Lake Erie. After I had “the shot” for the paper, I got a little creative and spent most of the third period shooting pans of the Rivermen players. A pan action shot is a nice way to mix things up a bit, and it works very well in sports where players are moving quickly such as football, basketball and hockey.
