But when we find out that we CAN do it, it's so rewarding! Yes, having a cooperative (and handsome!) model and the right lens does help, it's really all about who's behind the camera. These are shots anyone would be proud of! Thanks for the encouragement to have the courage to try something we haven't done before. It's the best way to grow!terriporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14333055591899961253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-30396268832205528742013-04-26T09:33:49.478-07:002013-04-26T09:33:49.478-07:00Super images Stephanie.

You pulled through beautifully, and it had nothing to do with that lens. It was you. Loved your comment about not having to do your usual bribes to get cooperation! heyjudephotographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098165048025314116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-27664830371651090312013-04-26T06:51:48.347-07:002013-04-26T06:51:48.347-07:00These are great shots!

I disagree with one statement - it wasn't that lens that produced the shot. Dolly - that was YOU!<br />I was recently asked to shoot a friend's daughter's championship baketball game and had the same reaction - yikes! Speed, low light, poor access and a once in a lifetime game. When I climbed down from my ledge, I read up on settings, and white balance then I went an hour early and played while another game went on. Thankfully, I surprised myself also. Isn't there a great sense of accomplishment?Maybe we are at the stage where we don't know everything, but we know how to figure it out and shoot purposefully. <br />Again, congrats to you ' I'd hire you in a flash!!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05433584313253805817noreply@blogger.com
