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.

Road to Provo – NCAA Volleyball Championships – Day 1
I drove up to Provo, UT with the Sports Editor and Associate Sports Editor, Umar Hussain and Mark Ratto. We left Irvine at 6:30am on Wednesday morning and got to Provo at around 4:30pm…or was it 5:30pm. The one-hour time difference was one thing that we could never seem to get right.
