As I mentioned in my last post, i was only able to use a small amount of my shots for my visual reporting class. I ended up with several good shots required for my “Sports Action” assignment.
Regarding the assignment; In this class we were all assigned a country based on a set of numbers we chose at the beginning of the course. I chose 66, which, as you could see from the last post, landed me with Thailand. So, my sporting event had to have something to do with Thailand, Which would be their National sport, a Mix of Boxing and Kick Boxing known as Muay Thai.
Muay Thai is a full contact sport, and when in a True Muay Thai Tournament, there are no gaurds or pads of any kind, Obviously, a real match can get really bloody and really intense. Today, my Muay Thai subjects were practicing for a demonstration inside the theater. Even still, they were moving so fast I could barely keep up.
Of this sport alone (A small footnote in the full Thai culture festival I had Visited) I took well over 150 shots. Then i had to narrow them down to two major shots. Here were the choices I ended up with. I think they speak for themselves.
