Taking pictures of an amateur boxing match in Baltimore was exciting. The energy in the room was infectious, with each punch and move of the athletes charged with power. The match I covered was about Donavon Israel. They had been training hard with the Baltimore Boxing Club to get ready for this big day. Their dedication and hard work with the trainers at the club were evident in every move they made in the ring. Being there to capture these moments was both hard and rewarding, as the fast-paced action kept me on my toes the whole time.
A Brief Look at Boxing’s Rich History
Taking pictures of an amateur boxing match in Baltimore was thrilling. The energy in the room was infectious, with each punch charged with power. The match I covered featured Donavon Israel, who had trained hard with the Baltimore Boxing Club for this big day. Their dedication and hard work were clear in every move. Capturing these moments was both challenging and rewarding. The fast-paced action kept me on my toes throughout the event.
The Gear That Made It Possible
To capture the action in the best possible way, I relied on my Canon EOS 7D camera. This camera’s fast autofocus and reliability were crucial for shooting in such a dynamic environment. For wide-angle shots that included the entire ring and the energetic crowd, I used an EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM lens. This lens allowed me to capture the full scope of the event, ensuring that no moment went undocumented. Additionally, I used the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens for close-ups. This telephoto lens was perfect for zooming in on the intense exchanges between the boxers without getting too close to the action.
Being in a room full of energy, surrounded by athletes giving their all, made this experience unforgettable. The power and dedication of each boxer were palpable, and I enjoyed every moment of capturing their strength and skill through my lens. Baltimore’s amateur boxing scene is alive and well, and documenting it, especially with the involvement of the Baltimore Boxing Club, was a privilege.
