Being from PA., and visiting Chicago, the local Little League baseball team, JRW, was playing in the LLWS Championship game in Williamsport, PA. The city of Chicago, had a live celebration showing of the game, open to the public, outside the famous Chicago Theatre, on a big screen. Having covered the LLWS numerous times, and the excitement JRW brought to the city of Chicago, it was the only place to be that day. It was a great feeling to see and feel the happiness, love, friendship, CHICAGO showed that afternoon. The lady in the image had a newphew on the team. She was with a group of friends, that were not shy about the enthusiasm for JRW. There are a few emotional images of her captured that day, a few on my Viewbug page.Editing
Shot RAW, as always, very, very little. Light was nice and even.In my camera bag
At the event, used 2 Canon 5D MkIII bodies, Canon Lenses, 24-70 and 70-200mm f/2.8 ISM. This is all the equipment needed for this event, besides, I rode my bicycle to the event.:-)Feedback
Being a photojournalist, and covering sports for many years, this event was really fun:-) Like I mentioned earlier, the JRW Little League brought lots of joy to the city of Chicago,people of all ages, races, religions, and yes even politicians, which were in attendance to cheer n "glad hand" during time of elections. Her passion for the team was so great to see and so it was easy to capture:-) When photographing people, no matter the situation, I always focus, no pun intended, on the eyes!! And also, I believe you have to love and have fun with what you are photographing!
