My daughter, Sarah, played lacrosse for the Webster Thomas High School JV Girls team this year. As I do for all her sports, I diligently stand on the sidelines shooting frame after frame of the action. I had well over a thousand images by the end of the season, including a few games of the varsity team. I was a bit rusty to start out with, but after a game or two, I got into a grove and was really pleased with the results. Shooting sports is tough and if you don't shoot a lot then you really have a hard time with focus, following the action, anticipating the moves. Rarely are the conditions just right. I've shot in 40 degree cold, wind and rain (even some snow), at night and in a stadium where the action is in full sun and then shade. The challenges are great, but when you get that great shot, it makes it all worthwhile. Here's a handful of my favorites from the 2013 season.
