***** DRAFT *****

Overview

My plan for the weekend of February 24-25, 2018 was to spend it in Richmond, Virginia, covering the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) Code of Honor Quad Rugby Invitational tournament.  Saturday went great.  And for Sunday, I had plans to set up a backdrop and lights to do sports portraits of the players.  But on Sunday morning, Patty woke up and thought that she was coming down with the flu.  So, I packed her up and brought her home.

Once I got Patty settled, I started to consider how I could fill in the gap for what we had planned to be a pretty all-consuming weekend of photography.  In the weeks prior, I knew I had received an announcement for a Special Olympics basketball tournament that weekend.  So, I started trolling through my emails.  Sure enough, there was a Sunday afternoon tournament at Episcopal High School.  So, I set out with all my equipment still packed in the car.

Lessons Learned

1.  I should have used a little faster shutter speed

1/160 seconds was too slow to freeze some of the action.

There was very little noise to correct.
