Working my way up! (photos included)

[Voyager1968]

A few days ago I posted a few shots of the little league all-star playoffs that I was shooting for the local paper. Well, the sports editor liked what I did so much, that I was "requested" to shoot last nights game, and now I have tomorrow nights game as well! I know it'll probably cool off some, but I can't help but think that the "chain of events" and the good work I've done with them have opened some eyes. Perhaps, I'll be doing a lot of shooting this upcoming football and basketball season! :wink:

Yup, I am getting paid per photo published and a round trip mileage rate for each assignment I cover.

Thanks everyone! Sometime over the weekend I'll try to post some of the pics I've shot. Right now I'm shooting the Little League District 18 Championships. I did one this evening, and I have another one tomorrow night.

Did the game tonight, and now I have the legion game on Sunday to do. I promise to get some photos up this weekend.

Well, here are the published photos as promised. The lighting conditions were harsh being they were early evening games, but I did the best I could. They turned out fairly well, but could have been better. I still have a lot to learn, plus they are cropped pretty heavy since I only have 200mm to work with. Sorry about the copyright watermark, but I'm not crazy about having to use Flickr to post photos here. I wish we could directly attach them without using a hosting site.
