My son against Cabrillo

I've posted some shots of JV & Varsity against Cabrillo, now here are some of my son going against Cabrillo.

Lakewood Varsity vs Cabrillo

Our varsity team did as well a job as our JV did winning 42-12, well maybe not as good. They did let Cabrillo score a couple of touch downs. Night games are always a challenge to shoot. This night was no different. First there's the terrible lighting and then it was a very cold night. I've learned when shooting landscape while hiking that gloves are a must, but of course I didn't bring them. So while my hands were freezing, my gloves were nice and warm at home. Any hoot, here are some shots to share from the varsity game.

Lakewood JV vs Cabrillo

This game wasn't much of a game. Our Defense stopped Cabrillo's offense not giving up anything. They got a couple of interceptions and even ran one in for a touch down, but it was called back due to a penalty. Our offense did a great job scoring 42 points for a final score of 42-0.

Here are some shots from the game.

This next shot has nothing special or unique to it, but I like it all the same. One of our players (red / white) made a hard tackle that almost caused the runner's helmet to come off. I've added an insert to show the helm

The pass for this player was overthrown and this receiver didn't have a chance to catch it. I do like the tightness and detail to this shot.

For this last one, this was a deep pass into the corner of the end zone that this receiver caught. Take a look at the horizon in the background, you can see how this reciever is paralle with the ground as he falls back after catching the pass. In the bottom right portion of the shot you can see the heel of his right foot.

Game two for Hughes - Flag Football

Got off work just in time to shoot this flag football game for Hughes. My obligation with the school is to shoot at least two games per each sports season and now that I've gotten the two games of flag football I can now focus my attention on the volleyball team.

Nothing real exciting to share but I did end up with a few shots that I'm happy with.

This next shot shows why you should be ready at all times when photographing sports. To most people this shot will look like a pass that may or maynot be caught, but in fact it's an on-side kick that bounced right to this player.

These next two shots are my favorites but are not techniquly correct. In both shots I captured the player in blue diving for the other player's flag and in this first one you can see the flag in his hand as he falls to the ground. Nice shot, but there a problem, no faces. These would have been so much better if they were running towards me when this happened, but we can't always choise where the action is going to go.

"A Big Shout-Out"

If you look through my previous posts you will notice that in my most recent post "Sports, Sports, Sports, and Sports" Part II that the vertical pictures have increased in size. This is due to the help of a fellow blogger and Mpixer who has helped me a great deal with adjusting the appearance of my blog. I just wanted to say thanks to Lisa for all your help.

Future posts will have larger vertical and horizontal shots.
