Saturday was the end of a couple things. It was the end of the Wyoming state soccer tournament, and it was supposed to be the end of the world. The world didn’t end, but luckily the soccer tournament did. I shot four games on Saturday including both of the Class 4A championship games for our sister paper in Laramie. Unfortunately for the folks in Laramie, both of their teams lost in the finals. The girl’s game was especially painful because it came down to penalty kicks after 90 minutes of regulation and an additional 20 minutes of overtime left the game tied at 1-1. I’m not a fan of shooting crying kids, but it’s part of the job I guess. Believe me, I’d much rather shoot a celebration photo than a dejection photo. I’m disappointed in my overall take from the tournament because I didn’t get any good features away from the games. I was so miserable with the cold and rain that I was in survival mode the entire weekend.

Today was pretty much identical to Thursday. Rain. Rain. Rain. It never stopped. The only difference for me was a nifty pair of waterproof boots ($25 at Wal Mart) that kept my feet dry. Other than that I got soaked again. This despite a rain coat I wore over my winter jacket. I guess when it rains so hard for so long, there’s not much you can wear to keep you completely dry. I got used to the whole being wet deal and just rolled with it. Felt like I got better pictures today although the teams I shot didn’t fair very well. All the Cheyenne teams are out of contention for state titles meaning the only title games I’ll be shooting on Saturday will be for our sister paper in Laramie.

Today was miserable. I shot seven different teams at the Wyoming high school soccer tournament in what seemed like a monsoon. It rained the entire day. The entire day. I’ve never been so soaked in my life. I dressed in layers of what is said to be “rainproof” clothing, but after a few hours, even rainproof clothing gets saturated. I had an hour break in the middle of the day, and I ran back to our hotel to change into dry clothes. Upon returning to the games, I was soaked again in about 30 minutes. I’m planning a Wal Mart run this evening to ensure this doesn’t happen again tomorrow.

As I sometimes do before a portrait shoot, I turned to Google’s image search for some ideas. My assignment was to photograph a local high school keeper. Initially I wanted to do a low-angle shot of her diving for a ball, but as I looked through the results of my “soccer keeper portrait” search, I noticed that there were no overhead angles. All of the portraits I could find were either low angle or eye level. I love a good overhead shot so I thought I’d try something a little different. I borrowed a six-foot step ladder from the photo editor and shot an action portrait wide from above. It’s definitely not an angle you see often in soccer photography. At this particular high school, it’s extremely hard to get a clean background because of stadium lights, bleachers, a small building, fencing and – believe it or not – a windmill behind one goal. Shooting from a high angle down gave me a clear background that doesn’t take away from the subject.
I talked to the subject on the phone around 6 p.m., drove out to the school at 6:30 p.m. and started the shoot around 7 p.m. Unlike magazines and larger newspapers, we don’t enjoy the luxury of time when it comes to a lot of our shoots. In this particular case, I found out who I would be photographing at noon on Monday and had the entire shoot done by 8 p.m. The lighting setup was extremely simple. I used one Canon 550EX speedlight shot through an umbrella at 1/8 power above the subject on camera right. That light was held by one friend from work while a second friend lobbed the soccer balls to her.
