About Me

My photo
Long Beach, California, United States
Welcome to my blog. Looking through my posts you will find that I love and have a passion for photography and although my expertise so to speak is in Sports Action, I have been getting into wildlife and senior portraits. No matter what I'm shooting I want to bring my client the best possible shot I can and give them / you a photograph that you will cherish for a lifetime. If your looking for someone to capture your child in action, to show the intensity and emotion in which your child plays, look no further. Just drop me a line (e-mail) at homerkenpo@aol.com. I cover most areas in Southern Califoria.

Youth Soccer - Girls U10

When I post my blog entries here I tend to post a lot of pictures and after time you'll see similar pictures posted, just different teams. So I am going to try and refran from this and post only those that stand out and offer examples on positioning and other rules of sports action photography.

So with tha t said I will start with the below picture. As I've said before



In the original shot, which is straight out of the camera (SOOC), I cut off the goalies foot. Now it wasn't really a bad picture, but then again it wasn't the best. So when I end up with shots like this I will take a closer look at them and determine if they can be saved with a creative crop. I find that tight crops work very well with action shots. That is as long as the elements of action are there. In this shot I have the ball in the picture, have a decent facial expression, and a clear background. So here is my save on the above picture.




I just liked the look of these two shots
