I was on the sidelines of EverBank Field in Jacksonville

I was on the sidelines of EverBank Field in Jacksonville, getting ready for the start of the Jacksonville Jaguars – Detroit Lions NFL game. I was excited and a little nervous.

I was there thanks to Daron Dean, a former student who is the staff photographer for The St. Augustine (Fla.) Record. Daron is an adjunct faculty member in the college this semester, teaching Advanced Photography I. When he and I were talking about teaching, he said he had two press passes to several of the Jaguar games and was going to see if any of his students would like to shoot a game with him.

I’m an enthusiastic photographer but haven’t shot many team sports – and never professional football. But I thought this would be a great learning experience for me. So I asked Daron if I could join him for a game, and he said yes.

The experience of getting ready for the game and shooting the game provided me with several insights as a teacher.

After the game, we talked about my experience. I have always admired sports photographers and their ability to capture the emotion and often “the moment” of a sporting event. I did even more so now.

I admire how Daron can be at the stadium today getting great football photos and could be at the scene of an accident tomorrow getting that photo and at a Christmas parade next weekend. Each of those situations requires different photo strategies. cheap nfl football jerseys

I appreciate Daron letting me join him to on the sidelines – but just as much for the learning process for me both before, during and after the game. cheap nfl football jerseys
