Monday, July 12, 2010

At the Dogs Bollix on Clement, one stop on the Friday Night Drinking & Shooting Club photowalk the other night.

Donna said...: awesome movement in this. can you tell me how you did it? I generally (OK, always) suck huge when I try to get something like this.; July 12, 2010 at 12:12 PM

Luck.

(If I recall correctly, I was actually trying to shoot the player the moment before his shot, but he was too quick for me--with this happy result. Shot with my point & shoot, exposure dialed down to -1.3 or so for a faster shutter speed.)

Spud Hilton said...: Awewome shot, Tom. Timing is everything. Otherwise, pro photogs would only need to take a few shots. Instead, they take 500 and hope one of them is the the perfect moment. Good job and impressive for a point and shoot.; July 13, 2010 at 7:16 AM
