The marching band

I went and shot this big “Drum and Bugle Corps” (aka marching band) competition Sunday night.  The big question for me was how was I going to shoot it?  I’d never done anything like this before so I figured I’d try some safe shots of individuals playing, then spend some time doing more experimental shots line panning on one guy as the other people were moving in the other direction.

    Great shot of Murphy and Tyler. It is always neat to get a perspective from someone who is not familiar with something. They always seems to give you a view that you would normally not see.
    Great job!!!
