The hardest part about taking digital pictures of furbabies is consumer digitals have a shutter lag. You press the shutter and it takes a second for the picture to actually take.
The camera I use in the studio and for sports as well as all my personal images is a Digital SLR - just like a 35mm camera but digital. The shutter is very, very fast.
I am a sports correspondent for the local paper here and in the next town (my hometown). They are sister papers and are a regional newsprint for the New York Times. I'd love to freelancing in New Orleans or Baton Rouge where there is a major print market but the hour drive to/from an event would eventually wear me out.
I've been working with the Sports Information Department at our university for about 7 or 8 years now. I always did public relations work for them during basketball season (calling ESPN, Sportsticker, AP, local TV stations, etc), worked with the Public Address announcer during football (spotting plays for him to announce) and with general stats for media guides. Now that the SID has seen my work -- no more
PR work for them . . . I'm strictly doing photography work for their publications, web, and media guides. I'm the envy of several photogs in the area that would love to have field access to our small town university sidelines. I'm building my portfolio in hopes of getting some freelance jobs in the future for bowl events in the New Orleans areas.
Oh -- and Lucynfred -- I graduated from a high school who's mascot is a tiger. I've been really tempted to get some tigers for the house. Maybe I'll have to get one to send to you and just go ahead and purchase the yorkie ones for my house! hehe!
Thanks everyone for being so supportive of what I love doing best!!!
