I always like to see a high paced game. But as most things go, a game doesn't always hold the attention of a state championship or rival school. Some games are merely games. That is no excuse for me to keep an active eye. I shot the Chico State vs Sonoma women's softball game today as my lead in softball game for the season.
The game held nothing special. In fact, I was faced with harsh lighting conditions and little knowledge of the players and personalities on the field. It might have been only my anxiety to get back into softball/baseball season that keep my feet moving around the diamond. A constant moving around the game of play allows me to get more angles and much more of a variety of images. I shot behind the catcher, the first base line, the third base line, out in the outfield. I was always shifting my location.
It might have had a little to do with the fans, coaches and umpires who always seem to get in the way. Or it might have been that today was such a beautiful day. I hope not to get burned out and keep up this variation to covering the game. It definitely give much more for the coverage of the sport. It's taken me some time to learn how to shoot softball/baseball. It different than other sports. It's not really a contact sport. And when contact happens, you need to be on top of it to capture it. As time usually dictates, I will probably get very tired of the sport, and just in time for my favorite game...football; but I am quite far to already be day dreaming about that game. So, here's to a hopeful spring season!
