Zone Focus: To focus your camera to a spot that you know action will be taking place, then take the picture when the action gets there.
Shutter Speed: You need to have a high shutter speed in order to freeze action.
Panning: To have a low ISO and shutter speed and still capture action in focus. You follow the action by taking the picture and moving your camera in that direction at the same speed and keeping it on the same spot in the view finder.
Waiting for the pause: To wait to take a picture until you know that the action will be stopped, then take it.

Number 16 was my favorite photo. This photo is shot from a very interesting angle that gives you insight to the structure of the building. It shows an archway, windows, staircase, etc which gives you a detailed idea of how the building looks. The focus and exposure are good, the lighting is good in how the closer you get to the sky the brighter everything gets. It also shows a lot of the details of the bulding, like the bricks.

What the judges said...
Portfolio:
1. Jordan Murph
Sports
Problems
-Using two pictures of the same point of view and lighting.
-When shooting sports to show the player in action, not just the surrounding.
-Shoot at more interesting angles, not just head on.
Liked
-On the first picture there is good lighting and you can see a shadow of another action in the photo.
-A unique moment in a picture that people always see.
Impression: I was very impressed with his single shots at the beginning but the stories were very plain and boring.
2. Travis Haughton
Stories/ People
Problems
-Having the back of someone's head dominate the photo
-The objects in the picture need to connect to the caption of the photo.
-Not have a tight frame and show more of the surroundings.
Liked
-The levels and variations of people in a photo.
-A genuine story in a picture.
Impression: I thought that that some of the pictures were great and that the others were mediocre.
3.Nick Adams
Photoj/ People
Problems
-Cutting off people's heads too much.
-Having the center of a picture be on an object that has no relevance.
-Having no story was a lot of depth to go with a picture.
Liked
-Shooting something daring and out-of-the-ordinary.
-The complex framing of a picture and the main focus being well displayed.
Impression: I was overall impressed.
4. Daryl Peveto
Problems
- Not having adequate captions to go with the photos.
- Having really posed portraits as a story in your portfolio.
- Putting a light in a certian place and not just letting it be natural.
Liked
-The balance of two different colors to create something dramatic and contrasting.
- Nice lighting that adds dramatic effect.
Impression: I really loved the lighting he used and his overall portfolio was well shot.
Dustin Snipes:
Judges Strengths
-Getting in the middle of action to make it seem like you are there.
-Everybody in the picture is doing something to emphasize the emotion in the picture.
-Having the reflection of a picture in all smaller parts of it.
My Strengths
I really love the moments he captured and how he made it feel like you were there. He did things that were creative that I have never seen before.
Contest Recap Video:
They looked at the thumbnails of all the pictures each contestant had, evaluated the overall material, and then chose the winner.
Part 2:
Agree: There is a picture of a girl that was playing tennis and obviously won and has her hands above her head and you can't see her face. I love how it shows a lot of emotion without facial expressions and I think that the lighting is beautiful.
Disagree: The sled picture under action is amazing I think. They didn't like that it was just a view. But, I like how the speed and how it is focused on the sledder is beautiful.
