Sports photography requires passion and skill. It is a game within a game. You need to have the ability to anticipate a shot that expresses drama, passion and movement. In order to capture a moment like that you need the valuable tools that can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Look at any major sporting event and you’ll find an army of photographers on the sidelines waiting to make an image that can take them to the next level. In the old days (talking about maybe 20 years ago) the goal was to be in Sports Illustrated, nowadays with the arrival of the internet anyone can be published they just need a voice loud enough to be heard.
The image I’m providing this week is an image of a baseball game. The pitcher on the mound is staring at his pitch as it’s flying towards home plate. The batters’ hands seem to be tightening up and the umpire ready to make his call. The drama is in the image, the motion is there too. Watching the release and the motion of the pitcher along with the stare guiding the ball down to the catchers mitt.
