For my tenth week of internship with the Stetson Men’s basketball team, I was asked to do some of the same things I have done last week. Early this week, I was informed by my boss Joey that there was yet again going to be a recruit on campus that I was needed to shoot some photos of. I checked a camera out of the library and prepared to take some photos of the recruit and our coaches. This time when I arrived at the fountain for the photos, I was met by the coaching staff and the recruit, as well as the recruit’s family which was new to me. It was nice to see the future hatter’s family getting excited about our campus and their son’s next step in life. I had at this point done this exact shoot before, so going into the process I already knew the basic poses I thought would look best when edited. We stuck to the typical spinning the ball, crossing the arms, and dribbling between the legs and we were done very quickly. Soon after, we did some shots with the recruit and his parents, and then some with the coaches as well. Before I returned my camera, I went to Flagler hall and edited the photos in Lightroom and sent them over to my boss Joey so that he could distribute them to the player and the coaches as needed. I felt happy with the result of the shoot because I know that I was better prepared than last time and got the shoot done much quicker so that the recruit and coaches could be win their way. The only thing that I wish I would’ve done differently was adjust the lightness and shutter speed of the images so that some of the pictures in motion would’ve had better clarity and brightness so I would have to do a little less correction in Lightroom but ultimately I think it turned out alright.

These last few posts talk about improvement through revision and repetition. It’s great that you recognize your improvement through this process. It’s easier to get that experience through an internship than in the classroom, where we are always learning something new and rarely repeat.
