Rain + Events + Baseball = Tired Wet Photographer
Well after a long weekend, I’m back to post. This weekend was busy shooting some different events like the Box Out, Relay for life and double header baseball. Thursday was a beautiful day for shooting with a nice blue sky and nice soft lighting. The box out is day where clubs in the college build a themed object for them to live in for the day. This years theme was our dream house, even though there wasn’t much interest I did get a few good PR shots of students at the event.
I really love this shot for PR, it shows a student hanging out at the event and using her time to study. This shows that events are fun but yet don’t take school time away from them.

This is just a shot of her just hanging out, this could be used for many different things because it doesn’t just convey school.

After the Box Out it started to rain until the next morning which really made the relay for life a mess because of all of the mud. Also from the storm the winds were very strong. So with all of the tents of the participants you can just guess the mess and annoyance of the event. I did get some group photos but many people were not there because of the situation of the weather and ground. Along with those issues there was a sickness going around from something, some thought the food so lets just say I stayed clear away from all food and drinks offered there.
Right after that i took off for the baseball game which turned out to be a nice game. We did end up winning both games which was a great push for our baseball team. I did manage to get some good shots of the game while I was there. Next game I wanna focus on other aspects of the game like pitchers warming up in the pen or dugout shots. I have so many baseball shots and those are the easy ones to get, I need to push myself further.
I did manage to get some shots on our athletics website which is not unusual but I thought I would share the stories and photos that are used in the stories. Links below the photo can be clicked to see the full story.

On sunday I shot a community Easter egg Hunt for the young kids of the community. These kind of things makes some parents weird about their kids in pictures but all of the families were very happy with my photographing their kids. It was a very fun and quick event which makes my life GREAT!
