Just like being back in school
The UC Irvine Women’s Soccer team recently played in the Stanford-Nike Invitational Tournament. My friend and fellow photographer Lee got us passes through the Big West to shoot the match.
theres been talk of video…here it is
I have talked recently about doing a lot of video work. This past quarter I have been working for the UCI Athletics to create a promo video that sums up all the sports programs here at UCI.
back to the baseline, back to basics
Nikon D3, 50mm, 2000iso, f/2.0, 1/800, manual 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 [...]
long lens…shorts lens…experimenting with shooting styles
Nikon D3, 300mm, 2500iso, f/2.8, 1/800, manual I’ve been shooting a lot with a 300mm lens. Mainly because I can’t afford a 70-200mm yet. I have noticed a difference in my shooting stye though. I haven’t been getting as close as I used to, although my photos look closer and tighter. Its good to practice [...]
shooting pumpkins
Nikon D3, 14-24 @ 14mm, 320iso, f/2.8, 1/2000, manual Lately I’ve been trying to make an effort to branch out and take assignments other than sports. This week I took an assignment to go to a pumpkin patch and take photos of pumpkins. I didn’t really know what to expect when I went out to [...]
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 [...]
h20 team cools off while I bake in the sun
Nikon D3, 300mm, 160iso, f/2.8, 1/5000, manual The other day I was shooting UCI’s Mens Waterpolo team. The game was at 12pm and it was hot. I got most of the standard shots, which turned out pretty good. I think next time I need to try to get something different. I need to challenge myself.
Shocktoberfest 2009
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…
uci soccer + 5d mark II…missing my D3
Canon 5D MKII, 70-200mm @ 200mm, 4000iso, f/2.8, 1/640, manual Throughout this week I have been switching cameras every couple days. I’ve been shooting with a Canon 5D MKII for a video project that I’ve been working on. When it came time to shoot my soccer assignment I forgot that I had lent my D3 [...]
Shooting more volleyball but shooting less
I feel like during these first few weeks of school I’ve been shooting a lot. The thing that I’ve noticed is that I’ve been shooting less. I have been tying to think more about composition and have been more selective while shooting. I have also had interns at the paper shadow me on pretty much [...]
