I didn’t write a blog entry at the time because I hadn’t submitted photos yet, but I had a really fun time in early Fall taking photos of fans outside the University of Michigan football stadium. Here are a few:
Things that went well:
- Found a great spot in the path of people walking to the stadium, behind a divider that split the crowd so they had to walk past me, and I could stand behind the divider and prop my arms on it, making for steadier photos.
- Fans were posing for me as soon as they saw my camera, didn’t have to ask anyone to pose or anything, everyone was friendly, enjoying a great day. The advantages of the social media age…
- I ran into a number of people I know, so I was able to take their photo and send it to them – I don’t submit photos of people I know to stock sites, don’t want to blur that line…
To keep in mind next time:
- Submit the photos ASAP, shouldn’t have waited this long…
- Watch for distractions such as porta-potty in background of some photos, distracting…
Fun crowd, fun time! You can see these and other photos I’ve taken outside the stadium here.
