The challenge for Week 13 of 52 Weeks of Awesomeness is “Sports”. http://www.labrisaphotography.com/2017/06/15/week-13-sports-52-weeks-awesomeness/ (link in profile) I’ve been a #Warriors fan for as long as I can remember. Through the days of #RunTMC, #ToddFuller, and #WeBelieveWarriors, there have been more lows than highs. When the Warriors won the #NBA championship, I was more relieved than anything else. After the brutal loss last year, I was that paranoid fan who assumed the worst. When they won game 5 this year, Brisa was disappointed in my lack of excitement because my only reaction was to raise my hands and exhale. It took 33 years for me to see my Warriors win their first championship in 2015. Paxton only waited 4 months to witness his first Warriors championship! Obviously, he’s really excited about it! Admittedly, it’s super fun to share my sports fandom with him! 50mm | ISO 800 | f/3.2 | 1/200 | Feel free to ask any #photography questions! I wanted to create an image that showcased the joy and excitement of the Warriors winning the championship. So I experimented with throwing confetti directly in front of the camera to throwing it towards Paxton to try to figure out how it would look best. I made an absolute mess of our dinner table because I kept throwing the confetti at/towards/above Paxton. Every time I threw it, Paxton would close his eyes and smile. I used a flash on camera bounced behind me to add a bit of fill light onto Paxton’s face. In order to throw the confetti, I actually used a tripod which I never use (whoa, right?). I cropped the image to focus all of the attention on Paxton’s expression and the flying confetti. Paxton was a trooper and put up with countless confetti tosses and luckily (for me), he kept smiling the entire time! #StoryBehindTheImage The challenge for Week 14 of 52 Weeks of Awesomeness is “Each intersecting point of the Rule of Thirds (4 images)”!
