STRONG NEW YORK: PIER 94 NYC, NY PREFACE: I had the opportunity to experience & shoot at
NEW YORK STRONG at
PIER 94 in
NEW YORK CITY, NY in December of 2019.
The entire experience is an event I will never forget due to the range of dynamic speakers from all aspects of the
Fitness & Motivational Community, where I learned long life concepts I apply in my daily life.
From a photographers perspective, this was a
VERY challenging event to shoot because of the lights with banding, dark house lights, and focus pulling from my
EF 70-200 f2.8 III which I later found out from
Canon Professional Services was off calibration due to shooting back to back
PGA TOURS & a lot of traveling.
Although I did shoot some
AMAZING shots, I could not figure out for the life of me why I have to have so many issues pulling focus at one length in particular.
After returning home viewing all the pictures, I thought most was lost due to this issue and just the overall
graininess of the shots with the banding, which I did fix with the
"FLICKER" setting.
Getting
creative in post-production is a skillset every photographer must-have, and
MADE it
WORK with various filters & changing many pictures to
Black & White, which worked well with the
grainy pictures!
As I look back at the pictures I've posted to Instagram, they've become some of my
favorite due to the
shadows,
expressions, and just overall
FEEL of emotions of the day.
I'll be posting the entire event in the future, but please enjoy the few shots I've included in this Gallery!
Enjoy.
