While I feel confident about many shots following this one, this is the picture that really solidified my confidence in pursuing photography in any kind of professional capacity. This photo and the story I wrote to accompany it took up half of the front page who hired me for the assignment.
Great shots guys...this one is a no-brainer for me. Capturing him still for more than a nanosecond? It's like walking into a Starbucks and seeing Bigfoot standing there waiting for a Latte.
Not the most artistic, but I love the timing. Boy had just caught a water balloon in a water balloon toss competition.
These two are a little more interesting (at least to me). I was learning digital photography and had been a big B&W film guy back in the day. I tried this conversion while learning PhotoShop Elements and the B&W won a photo of the week award at a forum dedicated to B&W imagery.
