One way to take better pictures is to stop trying
to take pretty ones. Stop looking for the aesthetic shot, and start
looking for the one that tells a story. Or the one that just captures the
moment. Like this one, taken with my first Canon Powershot, right after
Megan's high school gymnastics team won the divisional meet at Needham.
As a matter of technique and equipment, it's awful. But it's a
favorite of mine. It captures a bit of the emotion, the delirium, that
exploded when the meet results were announced, with teammates and family
mobbing each other, seeking each other out, some in tears. That the team
logo on the sweatshirt at left came out so well is a bonus. It's this
sort of thing, not the athlete in action that I'm always trying to capture,
that makes a good sport pic.
