h20 team cools off while I bake in the sun

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…


I was so busy with other stuff leading up to Shocktoberfest that I didn’t really get to put as much effort into shooting the dunk contest as I wanted to. I had my strobes back in the Bren and I had one remote camera set up on the top of the shot clock. It wasn’t the best choice, and actually a pretty bad choice. Once again I am reminded not to rely on my remote camera. Anyways, below are some photos of my assistants Ryon Tanara, Pratik Panda, and Ian Massey.

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 to a friend. I figured that shooting soccer with the 5D would be nice, and it was…it just wasn’t as nice as shooting with a D3 and a 300mm prime.

However, the colors on that camera are amazing and photos were sharp. Nothing to complain about.

Pumped up? I would have to say yes.

UC Irvine’s Amani Walker usually makes a photo interesting with acrobatic athleticism.

I was pleased to get the shot below of Amani Walker below sliding for a goal attempt. Its seems rare to get a shot of the player attempting to score a goal while being close enough to get the goalie in the photo. I think it turned out well.

At most times during the game I wished that I had a longer lens. Even when I took this celebration photo below I had wished that I had a longer lens. When I went to edit this photo I realized that it is also a good dejection photo that shows the losing team in the background.

Less writing, more talking.
