Lights – Sports

I’ll be honest, I’ve harbored hateful animosity towards my lighting kit since the day I got to Midland. They’re heavy enough to make a grown man cry and they never work right (for me)! My first assignment was a Friday night girls basketball game on deadline in a dungeon they liked to call a gym. So I lugged out my lights (which i’d never used before) and tried to follow their instructions bouncing around in my head. My pictures looked like poo, sure there was extra light but was it ever nasty looking! Last night I revisited that old nightmare, the same gym, with the same lights only this time at the 2008 girls basketball district final (no pressure). I am happy to report that I conquered those turd lights!
