Woodside against Seqouia High School Volleyball

Not much happened yesterday... as far as exiting photos mainly meetings and such so I dont think boring photos are called for so here are some photos from the high school game I covered... Enjoy!

Burlingame vs Aragon Volleyball

YAY! another day of volleyball...



There is not much that I can say about these just another Volleyball game...




Well... I guess there is one thing I can say... my wife went to Buringame?!?!



The game took place in Burlingame with Aragon being the visiting team.

Gatos, Scotts, Volleyball

Today's match was between Carlmont High School in Belmont and SHP. Though the home team (Carlmont) fell 3 - 0 it was, once again, an exiting game to watch.

The out-takes

There where way more out takes then these but wanted to go over these.

I like this one, its sharp, well composed and nice lighting but I have a million of these shots and they become boring after a while. Good stock shot for other things but just not as exiting.

This second shot though I think is a good image it is also not the peak of action. I was just a second late as you can see from the ball being to the side... and obviously the other photographer (probably a parent) was a bit off as well since I got their flash in the photo.

HAHA this image... it reminds me of a dog that is tracking the ball. So I thought I would share this one with you guys!

Now this image here gave me an idea that I want to try to get next time to work with. This is why you should not delete your images when you shoot. this was accidental exposure shot gave me an idea! Ill let you look at it and tell me what you think my thoughts are about this.

More Volleyball!

Man gotta love crappy lights but its what you need to put up with when you shoot in high school gyms. The shot above was shot with 6400 ISO with my Mark III... mind you not... most of my shots where out of focus with the glamorous focusing system Canon has on this camera and the lack of customer service and drive to actually fix it. I do admit the quality of the image is great... but it does not help when you are shooting sports and cant focus.
This second image was shot at 3200 ISO... when you enlarge the photo in photoshop you can tell the difference in quality. 3200 ISO is way better than 6400 but 64 still looks damn good. I will post some out takes and go over those next.

Woodside High Volleyball

Yet another volleyball game and I think I am getting the hang of it.



Though there was not as good of light as the last game I had to cover, the availability to move and get different angels was great.



A lot with sports photography is angels. That is why a lot of sports photographers use clamps, pocket wizards, and other cool tools to get angles you would usually not get.



Enjoy the photos and comments are always welcome!
