Athletes in other Sports

A few weeks ago, we were completely clueless as to how to go about capturing photographs and using computer programs to digitally enhance them. With a few days of hands on learning and practice, we were able to learn the trade fairly quickly. After pondering a few different themes, we decided that we wanted our photos to define the people at National Sports Academy. The photographs, as you will see, show the students of NSA doing things other than their everyday sport. Our point was to show that our school is more than just a skiing, hockey, and luge community. We are a community that supports the diversity in each and every one of us and that has a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for the talents within us. More importantly, we don't allow our sports and interests to define us, rather we define them.

We think this is a great photograph because there are shadows, such as the one cast from Annie as well as the one from the fence. Also, the trees make a nice frame and the ball is caught above the mountains, which catches the eye. We also liked the angle that we captured the photo from. Rather than a side view or front

view, we were lucky to capture the behind view.

We liked this picture because it was framed with the trees and the background is composed of beautiful mountains. Even though it's a still photograph, there is a sense of movement and action. We utilized the color balance tool to make the red on the court pop making for an interesting photo.

I really liked the framing of the trees in the background of this picture and the way the faded crosswalk almost leads to it. I picked this picture because I catches wilkins riding the like between falling and pulling the slide off. 

Uhhhhh is what I thought when I saw the out come of this picture, with the same framing as with Wilkins, this picture caught a little moment of what us long boarders would call steezy.

Peach was more then ecstatic when he heard our group was going to take pictures of him on his bike, which is understandable because im sure he will get plenty of likes from his pears for these artsy pictures. I really appreciated the setting of this picture, the symmetry seemed to be set up perfectly for a trials biker with the two rocks side by side, the framing of the trees in the back round and mountain that seem to be point right at peach while he makes the hope from one rock to the next

Although I was not a big fan of the buildings in the back round and pete fish didn’t approve of having a student on a power box I felt like the framing of the trees drew my attention towards peach on the top of the box. I thought the little bit of graffiti helped the arts part of the picture as well.

My favorite picture of the day, this abandoned lakeside building created what seems to me a European setting. At this particular moment I was able to catch the focus and strength that goes into manipulating his bike off the ledge.-peach in building

Dude back flip, little Chewpas face says it all in this picture. The framing of the trees and perfect blue Skye in the background really made the power and strength that went into Adens gutsy flip show.
