Delray Rocks vs North West Broward Raiders peewee 2009

After riding down to Margate, Florida for my grandson's football game I realized that I had left all my memory cards at home. I was planning on doing some experimentation with some portrait work. After scrounging around my trunk I found a 128mb card, my camera indicated I could only get three frames so I adjusted the settings to JPEG normal where I could get 64 frames. So, I changed my plans and decided to shoot one half and be very selective. It was my intent to submit a photo to the Westside Gazette in Fort Lauderdale and the Forum Publishing Group that covers Delray Beach, Florida.

Running back Dakaral Cabell, #2, of the North West Broward Raiders breaks the tackle of Delray Rocks Nygil Shannon as he scores his second touchdown in the second quarter of a South Florida Youth Football League peewee game in Margate, Florida.

Broward won the game 12-0 as Cabell scored both touchdowns on two long runs in the first half.

Baby portrait

My first photography job was at a Sears’s portrait studio where I basically photographed children all day. This portrait of three month old Souleah was similar with the exception of not having a controlled environment and no props.

I initially was going to use a window as my main light with her laying down on her stomach in her parents bed and hoping that she could hold her head up long enough for me to get a good shot. That didn't work as good as I would have liked although Souleah was very attentive and bright eyed throughout the whole shoot but we could not get a smile out of her.

She was starting to get a little tired but her parent still wanted to get a smile out of her. The last photo was of her being held up by her father next to her baby crib which turned out to be the one I like the most, still couldn't get a smile but looks more like an environmental portrait. This was shot with one Vivitar 285 flash shot through a 42” umbrella as the main light and the window as the fill light.
