13th Annual Palo Alto Weekly Photo Contest
"Josh Lay Pitching" About Deven Hickingbotham
"It would make a good action sequence," Hickingbotham said of his inspiration. "It's
a continuous, smooth action." Hickingbotham was able to capture this movement with his Nikon F100 camera. After
taking the photos, he scanned them and used Photoshop to create the overlay. He wanted to show the entire motion a pitcher goes through upon his delivery.
In the end, he noticed a second aspect of the photograph that he had not intended. "I liked the way, when I ended, how the feet interacted," said Hickingbotham. "It
was like they were dancing." Hickingbotham, a software developer, is a 20-year resident of Palo Alto. --Jaime Marconette |
