Addiction to those darn video games

Video games are life
The other day I was assigned to shoot someone playing video games and it was to show certain addictions of people. The spread it is going on is to show what people do when they become obsessed   with certain things like netflix or video games for example. It was actually rather fun to shoot because  I got to experiment with it for the photo and it came out rather well. I was pretty happy with the results since they came out so well. What I had to was adjust the light with a flash because, no offense, the lights in his house sucked and I had to bump the Iso up a little. Whats more is that if I left the Iso down a little more they wouldn't have come out so grainy but there not extremely grainy so its fine.

I like this photo a lot because it shows him playing the game but not only that it has the actual screen in the mirror and it shows what he is doing which is really cool. So it is extremely cool and it fit the criteria they needed so it all worked out so woo. The only thing I don't like about is his legs are a little cutoff but other than that. 
f/2.8, 1/60, Iso 1600
I like this photo because he is very engrossed in his game. The only problem is that you can't really see what he is doing and it isn't great. 

Powerlifting

The other day I went to shoot practice for the variety boys team. It was rather entertaining to watch because some of them couldn't handle the weight so they had to have help and made some rather entertaining faces. Otherwise it was rather boring but there was good action shots so it was pretty good all throughout.
f/3.2, 1/125, Iso 1250
I like this picture because it is concentrated on the guy lifting the weights and is fairly good. Whats more is that is properly exposed etc. What I don't like about it is that the weights are cutoff and so is the guy behind him a little yet it is not a bad photo.
f/3.2, 1/100, Iso 1250
I really like this photo because his dreads are in action and they flip back all majestic like. Its rather funny and they show him lifting heavy weights. I don't have any qualms with the picture other than the lights and it is a little cut off but those don't really take away from the picture

THS Band

Band People
I had to shoot the different type of bands that are at Texas High practicing. The following pictures are the symphonic band practicing in the band hall. It wasn't necessarily hard but it was more like I didn't think ahead and forgot to bring a flash which would have greatly helped these pictures but I digress.

 f/3.5, Iso 1600, 1/100
I like this picture because Mr. Lawson is teaching the band and he is focused in frame. I don't like it because it good be framed better and its a little blurry.
f/4.5, Iso 1600, 1/40
I like this photo mainly because of the focus point and it is well framed. I don't like it because of cut off of the instrument. 

Basketball. Lets Go!!!

Boys Basketball
It fun to shoot this because of the fact that i got some really good dominant photos. I would like to shoot another one and I'm going to later on so that would be cool.

 f/4.5, Iso 1200,  1/200 sec
This probably my favorite photo out of all of them. I have not processed it yet but I think its really funny since he is 5'1 and he is jumping the set up was great. I like it because it has a central point of focus which is him. I don't like it due to the dude behind him being cut off.
f/ 4.0, Iso 1600, 1/200 sec
I like this photo because he gives a good expression and face value. I don't like it because people are cut off.
