OVERVIEW
Two days of learning on the fields of Bellevue College in Washington as we walk you through everything you’ve always wanted to learn about Sports Photography - but were afraid to ask.
Springtime is the perfect time for America’s pastime, on one of the best fields located in the Pacific Northwest. There is no better time to invest in yourself and in the Leica SL system as you learn how to approach the concept of sports photography, capture peak action moments.
Rick will go into everything you need to know to understand sports photography including techniques used to get him where is today. This workshop will start off with an overview of the genre of sports photography, followed by insights into the dos and don’ts of covering sports.
We’ll follow that by key settings, things to be aware of, and what settings will be a great starting point as you head out to the premier baseball field in the great PNW.
A double-header awaits you as you’ll have unfettered access to players, the field, and everything in-between. The rest of the day will be spent covering baseball and softball on the campus of Bellevue College.
The workshop will end with a review and critique of images created, with the award-winning image being used by the school. You will be pushed outside of your comfort zone, so be prepared. Different challenges through the day will be presented for both the individual and a group, and you’ll be putting into practice the lessons learned. These techniques will help mold you into a better sports photographer.
