Week 41 – Ten Strike Kickball

David Philpot kicks the ball while playing kickball on Saturday afternoon.

I really enjoy shooting sports, but while shooting for a real team, it’s hard to often get anything but the far-away telephoto shots. That’s why when I have the opportunity to shoot just a few friends playing a pickup game of something, I take full advantage of the opportunity to “get all up in there” and go wide-angle. I would have liked to be even closer for this shot, to be honest, but the ball in frame and posing is probably my favorite that I took of this type while at the game.

Week 38 – Going for Grass

Luke tosses his bocce ball while his dad and brother look on.

This week I was presented with the chance to shoot sports, which is something I heartily enjoy doing. It just happened that the sports happened to be a game of bocce ball played by my family in the backyard. I was still able to get a sense of action in the ball and Luke’s hand, which is something I was aiming for, so that’s nice– mission accomplished on that front!

I have no recollection of the result of this throw.
