The Daily #5 – Boy Scout

At the last basketball game I shot, I set up a remote camera on the shot-clock. It was a big game against our rivals, Cal State Long Beach, so I got there four hours early. I also dropped by earlier in the morning to make sure that none of the teams had an open shoot-around [...]
experimenting with volleyball
This past week was the first time that I shot volleyball with my strobes. When I put my strobes in the Bren Events Center earlier this school year, I took into consideration that I would be shooting volleyball at some point. I found out which side UCI would start so that I could position my [...]
