Heading into a break and kicking it off with a few more hours

For the week of October 7- 11, I submitted a reader on the men’s women’s tennis teams for the sports show and shot highlights from the women’s soccer game. As usual, I had to wait until late at night for the complete updating from the tournament where the tennis games were being held. Although tedious, I was able to get the proper information without leaving anything important out. Shooting the women’s soccer game was a disguised as an easy assignment but had its challenges. The positives about this assignment was that I got to shoot with a camera that didn’t require a tape, so there were no messages that might disrupt me from my task. Unfortunately, I was little rusty. I often had a few too many inopportune pans and tilts while neglecting to zoom in and out at the proper times. I was also distracted by the various gnats and mosquitos that attacked me during my work. What I learned is that, as usual, I need to be better prepared (bring mosquito repellant) and put the camera in the optimal position that will include the least amount of unnecessary camera movement.
