Courtney Macklin and Corynn Kopra covering Nila Lukens’ kill<\/p><\/div>\n

@SOURaiders @RaiderVB @RinnieThePoooh @nillawafer_8<\/p>\n

After a sporting event that I’ve taken photos of, I usually do a quick run through of the pics and delete about half of them. The reasons for the deletions vary, but they usually consist of one or more of the following: subject out of focus, lack of action, awkward face, lighting that can’t be salvaged, lack of eyes\/ball in frame, and\/or already have a similar photo that is better.<\/p>\n

When I first saw this photo, my finger went to the delete key since the potential subject (Nila) is out of focus. Then I paused a bit and looked at Courtney and Corynn. I immediately realized that they were the real subjects. I had prefocused on someone at the net before taking this, as it is extremely difficult to get a decent focus in gym lighting if you try to focus at the last second (especially when you are on the opposite side of the net from your subject). <\/p>\n

I don’t know if I have any shots of really good “covering” that were intentionally set up that way, but this one looks like it was. Therefore, it became a keeper. Actually it’s one of my favorite volleyball shots due to its uniqueness. There are loads of great volleyball kill photos<\/a> out there, but how many good shots of players covering a potential block do you see?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
