Basketball : UCI vs Oregon
I got there 3 hours early to setup a clock-cam. I was denied. When we play big team, its best to get there at least 4 hours early. I sure learned my lesson. I had to settle for a post-cam, which wasn’t too bad, but definitely not what I was hoping for. My friend Brandon [...]
Goalie Portrait
I did a quick portrait of UCI’s Mens Soccer team goalie. I used a ProPhoto 1200 watt kit. A softbox to the left of the camera and another light to the right and behind the goalie. Heres how it turned out:
UCI vs Eastern Washington @ The Bren Events Center
This was the first time really shooting with my new strobes. Im starting to find that a two light setup is not as ideal as I though it would be. Since my strobes are only hitting one side of the court the background is going black and and I’m not really getting much. My photos [...]
UCI vs USC @ The Galen Center
When I heard that UCI was playing USC I knew I was going. There was no way I was going to miss out on a chance to shoot our upcoming basketball team play against one of the top ranked teams in the country.
A Step in a Different Direction
My last few sports feature photos for the paper have been pretty much the same. Player(s) standing in the middle of the frame with a blacked out background. Yeah, it looks good, but its getting repetitive and not helping me learn anything. I did a portrait of UCI soccer super star, Matt Murphy. I took [...]
Big West Championship
UCI Men’s Soccer team won the Big West Championship for the first time in UCI’s history. UCI played against UCSB in the finals in front of a nearly sold out crowd. I ended up with some mediocre action shots but also left with some good reactions and celebration.
Roeder’s Runners
Last weekend we hosted our Irvine Huckfest Ultimate Tournament with a record breaking 20 teams. For the weekend, we split up the Irvine Mens Team in two. The other captain and myself each took a team for the weekend. My team was called “Roeder’s Runners”. I didn’t come up with the name but it was [...]
First Time Shooting Soccer with a 400mm
I had a 400mm and a Mark III loaned to me through CPS for when I shot the Club Championships for Ultimate Frisbee. Before I had to return them I shot a UCI Soccer game. I sure wish I had one for every game. The shots were sharp and I loved the vibrant colors. The [...]
Goodnight at Crawford Court
The last time I shot volleyball was about 2 weeks ago. The nice thing about shooting in Crawford is that there is a stage on one side of the court that you can stand on. Its close and provides an angle that is hard to get in most other gyms or arenas.
Southwest Regionals in Colorado
Last tournament of the club season for Los Angeles Monster and most likely the coldest weather I’ve ever played in. I was busy playing most of the the weekend but found time to take a few shots on the trip over and during a couple other games.
