Behind The Lens

Location

My love for sports has always been a huge part of my life. I grew up as "daddy's little girl," in the family and on the field. Through all the teams I played for, games won and lost, my father always reminded me to never let go of why I began to play. I love this sport, softball was my whole life and first true love. After my last collegiate career game in May 2013, I sought to fill the emptiness I felt inside that was once filled with the game I love. Picking up my D90 I was eager to make my way over to my old stomping grounds, Bobcat Field located at Frostburg State University in Western Maryland.

Time

Collegiate level softball games are played as double headers each time, games usually starting at 1pm & 3pm. During the second game at 3pm, we had a little bit of an overcast, making for some perfect balanced lighting.

Lighting

Great use of overcast weather!

Equipment

I brought out my old D90 along with my Nikon 85mm 1.4G.

Inspiration

My love for the game, I needed to fill the void of letting go as a player.

Editing

Yes I always tweak white balance! But you always want to get it right in camera.

In my camera bag

You can always catch me with my 85mm 1.4, my D90 body, my nifty 50mm 1.8, my iPhone (for use of my pocket light meter app!), and a reflector!

Feedback

Capture what you love.
