A Visual Diary

My name is Ashley McGarry. I'm a junior Visual Communications major, minoring in graphic design at the University of South Carolina. This blog serves as a visual diary for the Advanced Photo-visual Communications class I will be taking this semester as a way to catalog my inspiration and record my progress.

  1. Adventures in Sports Photography
Sunday afternoon, I attended a sports photography workshop with USC’s NPPA chapter. Initially I was very intimidated because I’ve never really shot photography like this before. The men’s soccer team was hosting a tournament, and we photographed their match against High Point University. 
I was hoping to shoot enough strong images to use for my sports photography assignment, but it definitely took a while to get used to the pace of everything. I wound up filling up my 4GB memory card because I didn’t want to miss anything. Looking back over the photographs, I could actually see the images improve as the game progressed. I’d really like to go back and shoot another soccer match for this assignment now that I have a better grasp on sports photography. They players’ expressions really make these photographs, but I’d also like to improve my composition in the next round of sports photos. Adventures in Sports Photography
