Capturing Kiddos Playing Sports. Why I put down my iPhone.

Raising kiddos in an iPhone world means most of our memories are on a mobile device. This weekend I decided to start carrying my Canon 60D to my kiddos games so I could get some shots that would be hi-res keepsakes. I can’t zoom in half way across a field with my iphone and get these kinds of photos, afterall. These are not raw off of the camera, but I didn’t spend more then 3 minutes editing each one.

Yes with an iPhone you can instagram and Facebook the pics before you ever leave the field, but the print quality is iffy and losing your iPhone means you’re memories are lost (unless you download often or use the cloud). I put down my iPhone and picked up my Canon and as you can see, it was worth the little bit of extra effort.

 

In action. Ian is really determined to kick this half way across the field.

He took a minute to stop and pose.

Good game, good name.

YAY! We worked as a team!
