Forum Post - Week 6: Action Photos Topic

For this assignment, I'm going to go out to the field where the sports teams practice. If I go in the afternoon I should have a good chance of finding a group of people to take pictures of. An alternative option would be the dance club. They meet on Thursdays, and it seems like they'd be a good opportunity to try something different.

The main difficulty I anticipate having would be variety. Since it's just going to be members of our local team practicing with each other, it's going to be pictures of the same people doing the same general activities. This should be offset by taking shots from different angles and locations, though there are only so many places one can go without getting in the team's way. Which leads me to the other difficulty: proximity. The long lens should work to get good pictures of people from a, let's go with "discrete" distance, but if you want to take a wider shot that would require the smaller lens you could likely miss your photo opportunity in the time it takes to switch them.
