Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S Lens will give you the opportunity to document all those High School memories for a lifetime and be able to go back and revisit them. The lens will give you the opportunity to capture the action at such a close-up angle that you can see your play and hear the coach's feedback.

With this camera, the coach and baseball players will be able to get a close-up shot to see if the players are hitting the ball.

The other aspect is that the camera will be able to tell if the player is catching the ball correctly with his eyes open or closed. This will give us a better way to look at the mechanics of pitching. Technology has given us the tools to instantly correct the problem and become more successful at the game.
