back to shooting Volleyball from up top & reflections on the floor
Nikon D3, 300mm, 320iso, f/7.1, 1/250, manual I finally got to use my strobes for the last Women’s home game of the season. It was in the Bren Events Center at UCI which also has higher locations to shoot from. One thing that I noticed from shooting up there were the reflections on the floor. [...]

tough loss to northride, but still in the semis
Nikon D3, 300mm, 3200iso, f/2.8, 1/800, manual Last weeks soccer game was a hard one to watch. UCI did not play anywhere near as good as they could have. It made standing out in the cold even worse. The game was extremely physical and there was a lot of tension between both teams. There was [...]

unlearning my laziness & working the sides
Nikon D3, 300mm, 3200iso, f/2.8, 1/640, manual Usually I’m pretty lazy when it comes to shooting soccer and I end up posting myself near the goals and I don’t really move around too much. Its easy to shoot from there, I get faces, good action, the ball, and it never fails. The one thing that [...]
