2013 NJB D4 Lakers
Tommy Lasorda Field House, Yorba Linda. Here's something you don't see here everyday! I've been asked to shoot night time games and indoors before but rarely do it. It's difficult for sure- but also, my photos have a stlyized look to them that doesn't quite have the same punch without daylight. I average about 35% keepers for most games. Here I kept about 10%, and some of them were pushing it. This has to be the darkest gym I've been in. So, this set has some grain and some blur, but I worked with it (Photoshop!) and it's a pretty good batch all told. I used some painted effects and a few other styles here and there. Nearer to the end I stopped trying to get "action" shots and looked for the kids to pick up their dribble, that seemed to help with the light. So here's the first NJB gallery, the 2013 D4 Lakers (CLICK). Bryan
