Originally posted by schnur07 Below is an example of where the first photo was in focus but the next one was not. I'll include some other photos in the next post.
For a few years, I shot high school sports for a local weekly newspaper. Your first shot would is perfect! The publisher wanted the photos to show the athlete's faces, so that they could be recognized. The second shot, other than being out of focus, is not as desirable because one of the players has her face obstructed by the arm of the other player.
p.s. A lot of your other pictures would be published also. Great job!
