With the help and inspirations of a handful,....I just wanted to share some of my goals and objectives as I move my photography from a 'Hobby' status to a ''Business' status this coming season....
A big thanks to everyone who contributes to this forum and especially Rick Dayton for providing some excellent mentoring and advice.
With that...
I'm all about accountability, so I figure I would share some of my personal goals with everyone to help keep me honest, true to my mission, and ultimately help me in my endeavors...
With that, here are my fall sporting goals (mainly centers on football for now)....
1. Tell the whole story - cover special events before the game...cheerleaders, parents, and the pep squad. Capture the emotions of winning, losing, pain, and happiness for the entire game to include pre game and after the game. There's more than just football players - cover the cheerleaders, band, dancing team, parents, and all those supporting the teams on the field. Continuously look for the non-stock photo.
2. Minimize missed shots - quit daydreaming or picking my nose after the whistle blows....something could be brewing to the left of right of me....head on swivel.
3. No SPRAY and PRAY!!!! I won't and don't have the time to PP thousands of images. Will strategically position and wait to get maximum frame-filling prior to pressing the shutter release. Will also help in minimizing cropping later.
4. Manage WB, nail exposure, and SHOOT TIGHT - proper execution on these will minimize PP time later on.
5. Continuously market my services and products - parents, coaches, athletes, social networking, and booster clubs....think grassroots since going from higher to lower did not yield much interest.
6. Prep gear - all gear is checked, cleaned, configured, and ready to go. No Homer Simpson "Doooohs"!!!
7. Get better each week! - Learn each week and apply lessons learned. Minimize repeating same mistakes.
8. Patience - wait for the better shot, be in position for the best shot, and realize Rome was not built in a day.
9. Post results often to this forum - to help assess and get guidance and corrections from the community
10. Be safe, have fun, and ensure I balance this along with my job and family.
With that - here are a few shots I grabbed at this weekend's football tournament. Looking forward to a great season.
All of these are basically SOOC with minor processing and good cropping.
Thanks for viewing...
