Caught the cheerleaders and jazz dancers at a boys basketball game. Lots of fun to photograph, as always, but not easy. Their routines don’t last long so you need to have your exposure on the money because you won’t have much time to fiddle with it. Also, for most of their routines, they’re spread out across the floor so you’ll need a wide lens...

Went back to one of the basketball games to concentrate on the cheerleaders and kickline. It’s tough to photograph them while shooting a basketball game because I’m up in the stands swapping my lights from one side of the court to the other, and that takes up most of the halftime. Photographing the cheerleaders was tough this year. We seem to have a lot more...
