OOF: YOU SUCK

[MDJAK]

This is a quote from an old article by the Sports Illustrated Photo editor as he was going through shots taken by the top 11 sports photographers in the world:

"I've never seen so many guys say so many good things about their own take, and there's nothing but **** on the screen," he says. Later, unable to find a good shot of a particular Patriots touchdown catch, he gestures at the screen. "Eleven guys. Eleven versions out of focus."

So, what can I expect? I shot 150 pictures of a HS baseball game the other day. Not all, to say the least, were tack sharp, in spite of the equipment I was using. The basepaths were dry dust and were blowing all over the place, etc.

Maybe, just maybe, I'm not so bad after all. Maybe I'm just expecting too much. Maybe not.
Here's the link to the story:

Quite interesting.

I'll be shooting tons of sports this fall, but yea, I'll never live up to SI :(

Interesting read. I wouldn't mind a job where I didn't have to do the post-processing or even necessarily look at what I'd shot so long as it was good ;)

Glad to know I am not the only person that deletes a crap load of oof shots. But I take so many that I am still left with hundreds.
