twittering
I've been going to basketball games lately with Jeremy. He's the photographer and shoots the game. I photographed a couple of games with him. It was okay. I'm not much of a sports photographer so my shots really weren't that great, but it was still fun. But the last few games I've been sitting on the side-lines twittering the games for the school's online newspaper. Now this I enjoy. I like this more because I'm actually watching the game rather than my just looking through my camera at the players. I like this job, though I must say I'm really NOT qualified for it! I like basketball, understand the rules, and object of the game but what I don't know is the terminology. So my twitter posts look kinda like this "girls gets ball and scores" "player gets a foul." So that's no too bad. But I'm always confused when it comes to fouls. How do I write that exactly? Team A fouls team B? Team B gets fouled by Team? Team A fouls team B and player from team B goes to foul line? This makes sense in my head but I'm pretty certain that I'm not correctly conveying what's happening in the game. I need to find a hand book on sports reporting, or maybe just ask a real sports fan to describe the goings on of a game for me.
