I’ve been “volunteered” by my brother-in-law in Montreal (La Plaine to be precise) to photograph the baseball team he manages.
I have nephews on the team, so there’s relatives all over the place with the usual pitfalls that come from doing free work for relatives.
About the only problem I don’t expect to have is with the language. Between my wife, her brother, and one or two others, somebody should be able to explain everything I don’t get on my own.
Anyhow, I know nothing about photographing people, groups of people, or groups of teenage baseball player people. So I would really appreciate any help that will help me give them a result they will be happy with.
Even really basic stuff would be useful. Like how to orient the players to the major light source, what percentage of players to place in each row, how many rows to have, where to put managers and other non-players, backgrounds to have/not have in the picture, and a buncha other stuff I can’t even think of.
As for equipment, I expect to be taking a D2x, an SB800 and two SB600’s, tripod, and lenses ranging from 12 to 200mm. (12-24, 28-70, 70-200).
I promise eternal gratitude to everyone for every bit of help that makes this come out well. I’ll even write a report when I get back.
Oh, we’re leaving on Thursday, so time is getting short.
Mike
