Final-ly

Ideas change constantly, and that happened to me with my final. My pictures from my first idea were not quit to my liking, but then I went to a San Jose Sharks game last Monday and everything changed. I was able to capture some shots that, to me, were much stronger. It probably had to do with the fact the pictures were more difficult to capture then the ones I did before that. To capture someone skating at top speeds on ice (up close) has been very difficult for me since I've been trying to shoot the games I go to. Three pictures I caught Monday that I did not print out were...

I liked this pictures very much too but they were the lesser pictures that got bumped out of the final because I didn't want to do more than eight prints (I also didn't have much more time to add many more). These pictures were a joy to capture.

Part of getting photography to "work" for you is in finding something that you really enjoy to shoot that gives you a challenge. When I was your age I used to go to gymnastics meets. It was hard at first to learn how to capture bodies in movement, but through taking lots and lots of photos I finally started to figure it out. Keep practicing Tyler and keep taking lots of photos. Maybe this will lead you to your calling.

Even though your idea changed mid-stream I quite enjoyed these images. The way you presented them was not as successful as it could have been but that may have been a result of the short time frame you had. I am truly amazed you got these from a point and shoot!!!
