WILDCAT Scrimmage Day!

As promised, I'm really going to "attempt" to start blogging more on a regular basis.  That said, yesterday, I took some great action pics of our Waldorf Wildcats Mighty Mites (8-9) first Scrimmage Game.  We have two Mighty Mites divisions ( RED & Black Team). My son Christopher #11, is one of the Quarterbacks for the RED team. Oh my goodness...BOTH the Red & Black team did an AWESOME job! I'm sure I speak for all Wildcat Family members...we are very proud of all of you!

OK..because I am a Photographer, let's talk shop very briefly.

The challenge in shooting Action Sports is to capture SHARP images and FREEZE the action.  Again, I am not going to get too technical in this blog.. but basically what you want to do is Freeze the action by shooting with a high shutter speed. To get the image to be sharp, you may need to use either a tripod or a monopod that helps reduce camera shake. When shooting sports, I typically use a monopod.  

Enough of that...enjoy the pics and as always, leave comments if you feel inspired to do so.

FOX 5 FACEBOOK FAN OF THE DAY!

This is gonna be a very short post.  About a month ago, my wife submitted our family portrait to Fox 5 for their FACEBOOK FAN OF THE DAY (we really wake up watching Fox 5) ....Well, what do you know to our surprise, we were selected and featured on FOX 5 TV!!

Below is the portrait submitted.  This was a self portrait that I did and it took about 12 takes to run back and forth to get into the correct position...lol!  But it was fun!!  Enjoy.

Football Pics of The MIGHTY WILDCATS In ACTION!

Hi Everyone,

I can not believe how long it's been since I last posted on my BLOG! SHAME, SHAME on me! Here's a collection of images that I put together to create an advertisement for capturing LIVE Football Images.  My son, Christopher Carter #11 (Mighty Mites Red Team-this year) for the Wildcats really enjoyed himself last year!

This year, I'm offering the same deal for capturing High-Impact sports images for those who are interested.  The only challenge is being able to coordinate times and location.  If my sons team is playing on the same day and the same field as yours...no problem. But if the games are played in different locations and times....we may have a problem, because I have to be there to support my son at his game first.

Finally, to ALL WILDCAT
parents who are tired of the same ole individual football photo of your son or daughter (cheerleader) and you want POWERFUL DRAMATIC Images with IMPACT contact me ASAP to discuss details and pricing. I'm offering very Powerful Poster type images of players and cheerleaders!  As soon as Christopher gets his uniform, I will take a few pics and post them here.

Until then!

Chris
