Long Story short, I went to set up a backboard remote at a Men’s Basketball game, had everything setup perfectly, was forced to take it down an hour before the game, set up a overhead remote, got some shots, left a little disappointed. I guess backboard remotes are no longer allowed at our arena….
With the assistance of Ian, Panda, and Lee, I was able to get everything set up quick and easy.

A UCI fan jumps and screams in the stands in order to distract the other team from missing a free throw.
I am currently working for the UCI Women’s Basketball team doing filming. Since I am at every game I also have a lot of photos. I still have a lot to practice and go into every game trying to learn how to shoot it better. Here are some shots from two games in the past week.

Although basketball is one of my favorite sports to shoot, I feel like it is one of the sports that I need to work on shooting the most. I also feel like shooting with my strobes has limited the ways that I see when I shoot basketball. I am trying to go back to shooting without strobes and to focus more on action, composition, and different angles. I shot a UCI Womens Basketball game almost entirely with a 50mm, trying to see all the different shots i could get from the baseline. I hope get back to the basics and really develop a strong basketball background.

I’m always looking forward to shooting Shocktoberfest at UCI. This year the concert featured Cold Flamez, Shwayze, and Gym Class Heros. Personally I though it was better than last year.
Check out the slide show below…

Earlier this summer my friend Connor invited me to watch a basketball game in the city. It was the SF Pro-Am League that consists of a lot of college, D-League, and international players. Needless to say there is a lot of experience, athleticism and skill. Basketball being one of my favorite sports to shoot, I decided to go back and set up a backboard remote.
I started setting it up less than an hour before the game. It was rushed. No gobo. No tape on the focus ring. Didn’t clean the glass. Yeah, it was rushed. But it was a good chance to test out my new D3 and my 14-24mm.

At the beginning of the college basketball season, Darren Moore from the UC Irvine basketball team facebooked me and asked me if I could shoot a few photos of him for a tattoo magazine (Urban Ink). Long story short, I shoot him and his tattoos, and later found out that I had gotten inked too.

I’ve been pretty busy lately and haven’t been shooting much. During a basketball game I shot about two weeks ago, I switched between using my strobes and using available light throughout the game depending on which side of the court I was on. Here are some shots from the game.
