I love this shot of Maya beating out the boys for the ball in the YMCA soccer league on Saturday. I think this will be the last year for the tots to play co-ed. They will be playing in separate leagues next fall, and now I know why. Liam is on the left.
I have been working with a M-Audio compact flash digital recorder lately and will be posted sound over the images from time to time. I am learning the the better the microphone used the better the overall sound will be. That would seem obvious enough, however, it easy to try and skimp and use a cheap microphone, just like it is to use an off-brand lens on a camera.
Trying to capture good audio is a lot harder than I imagined. You can't simply run the recorder and hope for the best, just like you can't just shoot everthing in sight. The technology is getting so good that both options are possible, but it takes some skill to juggle when to put the camera down and focus on sound.
