Title: AWANA Sparks-a-rama and TNT game night
Post by: Andy_Sorensen on February 24, 2008, 04:29:23 AM
Our local chapters of AWANA held a big game night for the Sparks and TNT groups.  What a riot.  I spent the evening taking photos of our team with a semi-functional camera - a recent incident took out most flash capabilities.  :(   So I had to shoot using high ISO settings and just deal with the resulting noise and white balance issues.  I took most at ISO 800 and quite a few at ISO 1600.   Overall, I took nearly 200 but distilled it all down to 73.  Won't post them here, but here's a link to the GALLERY (http://ajstudio.smugmug.com/gallery/4395414_izEEj#258118620)

Enjoy!  Not my best work - just lots of candids of good people and some action shots - but it sure was fun trying to capture the intensity and the fun of the night!  Two of my boys and my better half are mixed in throughout the photos.

A lot of good photos of a lot of good people, is right.  Thanks for sharing the fun of the night.  I don't know a whole lot about AWANA but I notice your group wear green shirts with the logo; our local group wear yellow shirts (w/brown trim).  Is this different with the region?  Just curious.

Hi Jane. 

No, I don't think there are any regional differences in terms of shirt colors.  These shirts were only used to identify the teams.  Some teams had black shirts, others red, one blue, and there was a yellow team as well.  Ours were green.  The kids wear whatever the church gets them.   :)
