For this Spot New inspiration, I took something that I am very interested in and did a feature about sports. My inspiration was the NFL Scouting Combine. I have been following it a little bit and I have been looking through all of the pictures. All of the pictures that I have seen have been amazing action shots. They totally freeze time and movement. The website shows all of the pictures from the course of the Combine. For people who are not familiar with football or sports, the NFL Scouting Combine is an event in which college level football players go through a series of tests, physical and mental, and they are scouted by National Football League coaches. They do strength and conditioning tests, as well as mental and drug testing. All of their statistics are taken so coaches can evaluate them and see if they would like to draft the college players to their professional team. I am an avid football fan, so this is always something I look forward to each spring.I love the pictures that were taken because they stop time. Some of the best pictures stop the players in mid aid, and everything about them is frozen. Those are my favorite kinds of pictures. So for my Spot News Feature I chose to photograph a sporting event. I shot the Cazenovia Men's Basketball game and Senior Night against Morrisville State College on Friday, February 20th.
