CSLB Men's Basketball vs Pacific

 This marks my last game coverage for 2012.  This year has a been a good year for shooting with plenty of opportunities to cover different events / games.

To end the year I covered Cal State Long Beach Men's basketball vs Pacific.  This was a rough game for CSLB who were behind during the first half.  During the second half they came back strong playing a much needed defense as well as pushing their offense.  I love games like this as you can just feel the excitement in the team and fans.

Here are a few of my favorites from the game.  Enjoy.

CSLB Women's Basketball vs Columbia

I was asked to cover Cal State Long Beach Women's basketball followed by the men's game against Pacific.  Had a great time covering the games, but did have to find my mark again.  Had my camera at Canon recently for a sensor cleaning and had to make some late setting changes (something I should have done upon receiving my camera back from Canon).  But once I got dialed in I was back to my comfort zone and simply shooting.

Enjoy the shots.

Merry Christmas

From my family to yours, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and New Years, for those who don't celebrate Christmas may your holidays be blessed.

A Day at Disneyland

Spent the day at Disneyland with my sweetheart (daughter) and dad.  What more can you ask for.  It was a great day to be out shooting, which is what we went for.  Simply to enjoy the park and take pictures along the way.

My dad and Pat haven't been to Disneyland since before California Adventures was constructed, so this was an adventure in itself for them.  We had a great time spending the first part of the day showing them around California Adventures and taking pictures along the way.

I wanted to try my hand at some HDR and brought my trypod, which I left in the car.  I didn't really want to drag it around all day and thought that once it got dark I would retrieve it to take some shots of the lights at night.  So the HDR shots I did take were done hand held.

As the evening drew closer we moved on over to Disneyland to continue our fun.

We had a blast, it was great simply watching my dad enjoy himself on the rides.  I even got him to go on the Tower of Terror ride.

CSLB Men's Basketball vs Fresno State

 Was asked to cover Cal State's men's basketball vs Fresno State last night.  Compared to what I normally shoot it's always a pleasure to shoot some basketball at the Pyramid.  Here I'm able to shoot at ISO 1600, with a shutter of 1/500 at f/2.8.

So with my first basketball game of the season I give you the below shots.

Enjoy.
