I’ve been waiting a long time for basketball season to start up again. I was assigned to shoot the Women’s game but also stuck around after to watch the Men’s team and also get a few shots. No remotes were set up for the Women’s game but I had one set up on the post for the mens game.

I took a last minute assignment to shoot a Cafe on campus. At first I took the picture but was immediately unsatisfied. The photo was too plain so I decided to gel two flashes and light up the building from two different angles.

The second day in Provo was fully packed with full access to the team including private practices, strategy meetings, team lunch, locker room, training room and more. After talking with the UCI Athletics media reps, they hooked us up big time with all-access to the team.

Before I attended my first Sports Shooter Academy workshop I used to shoot in Av or Tv modes. I knew how to take pictures, but I was far from a photographer. At the workshop I was asking about settings and one of the main staff members was astonished that I shot in any of the auto modes. From that moment on I was set on truly learning how to use my camera. Since then I’ve shot in Manual mode and haven’t thought once about going back. There is so much control when shooting in manual and it allows for much more creativity. Honestly, I just can’t get myself to trust any of the auto modes.

During Presidents Day weekend I shot an Ultimate Frisbee Tournament in San Diego. The last day of the tournament was moved to San Bernardino due to rain and field closures in SD. I came prepared with water-proof pants, jackets, rain cover for my 70-200mm, rain cover for my 400mm, gloves, etc.

I was asked by a friend to do some product shots for a client of his. At first I was a little hesitant. This would be one of the first real photo shoots I would be in charge of. I’ve assisted several important shoots. I’ve shot stuff for the school newspaper. I’ve freelanced when I knew there were several other photographers.

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 Wong was at the game shooting too and he let me use his 85mm f/1.2 for a little. That is an amazing lens to shoot with.
Anyways, there was an actual crowd at the game and for once and I could finally start to feel the school spirit. Hopefully it wasn’t a one time thing.
