Journal 14

Yesterday I had a softball game in Keene. In the second inning it started pouring. It was our turn to go out into the field, so we all ran out. Our second baseman decided it would be fun to jump in the puddle that had gathered on home plate. She was jumping up and down and the water was splashing up, but not very high since the puddle wasn't that big. Her face was priceless because she was laughing and she thought she was so funny. I was standing at shortstop just watching and laughing at her. If I had a camera I would have shot this vertically so the picture would only focus on her. I would have used a fast shutter, to freeze the water up in the air and also to freeze the expression on her face. I think that this picture would have looked the best in black and white, since there weren't very many colors. I would have needed to use a low aperture, because there wasn't any sun so I would need to let in as much light as possible.

  1. This sounds like such an interesting story and would've made for a great photo. The idea of putting it in black and white seems good too.

  2. That sounds like a really great image. I love the idea of candid shots like these because I feel the emotion in candid pictures is so real.
