I recently took the position of Team Photographer for the King County Jags Minor League Football Team. I am really enjoying shooting these guys (and its really nice to see some football)

like in my carnival shot, I used a slower shutter that would allow the motion to be seen but keep my primary subject in good focus.

Shooting sports is hard. Mountains, Trees and flowers dont move much and getting an interesting shot thats well composed when shooting sports is hard. I miss doing sports, so I thought this would be fun to do. It has been an absolute blast. Nothing like shooting outside your comfort zone to get new experience.
