Shiny Orbs

Since the weather today was so nice and I was in a good mood, I decided that I would go shoot a weather feature. More after the jump.

Football? More like wet socks ball. UGA v. ASU

This weekend’s game marked our third ESPN night game in a row. There was also a 90% chance of rain. Thankfully, I had the foresight to have my dad send his rain gear to me so I could borrow it for the game. It really, really came in handy though it was a little on the large side. The radar looked pretty ominous and at 45 minutes before game time there was a lightning warning so everyone was shuffled off the field. I went out to shoot some photos of the stands. More after the jump.

Shooting (photos of) a Guy Who Stabs People

I shot a portrait for a story on the fencing club president a couple weeks back. When I saw this assignment I snapped it up because I actually fence and have wanted a reason to do a fencing portrait for a while. Click the jump to read more and see more photos.

Football: UGA v. OSU

Here are some photos from the UGA v. OK State game two weekends ago. I am not going to go really in depth as usual since I have a lot of photos to put up and need to catch up on my blog with a lot of stuff from the last few weeks. Anyway, more photos after the jump.

AutoX

This is some old stuff… just felt like posting it. I’ll keep things short on the word end.

A few friends of mine invited me to an Auto Cross over the summer at Atlanta Motor Speedway. I figured I would go and shoot photos. Nothing fantastic came of it, but here are some frames I like.

Life’s a Beach

When I got to football practice today I found out that they had again changed the allotted media time to watch practice without letting anyone know, so I didn’t get to shoot practice. I was really kind of disappointed because of it, though I was mostly disappointed that I let my photo editor down and would have to use a photo from last football season. I had heard from a friend earlier in the week that the RHA (Residence Hall Association) was going to have inflatables and a big slip and slide on Brumby Beach (Brumby is an all girls residence hall), which is near all of the freshman dorms, today. I had already planned to shoot it as a feature but on my way out from practice my photo editor sent a text and asked if anyone wanted to shoot it. Seeing this opportunity to make up for myself, I told him I had already planned to go and headed towards the freshman dorms.

Ri-Cerione

This is a really old entry I meant to do a while ago, just forgot about it and saw it in my drafts so I decided to finish.

The day I had to shoot this portrait there were a few errors in communication. The writer who did this story wasn’t the usual baseball writer, so he didn’t know a few of the procedures. By that I mean the writer wasn’t aware that he actually had to request the portrait before hand. I was unaware of this when I showed up early, like usual, with all of my gear. The baseball SID (sports information director) saw me and said “What are you doing here?”

Midsummer Music Fest: Guster!

Meant to post these right after the event happened, but I got busy.

This is the last part of the set from Midsummer Music Fest in Candler Park, and the second of 4-5 posts from concerts I went to that weekend, two of which being Guster. I just want to point out again in this long series of photos that I wasn’t credentialed, so I was stuck in one spot. I tried to get creative with compositions, but it would’ve been really nice if I could move around. I’d appreciate if you wouldn’t look at this as a photo story and more of individual photos because of that fact, because there are a lot of repeated compositions. I got to the point where I was just looking for nice moments. Anyway, here are the photos.

The lead singer plays a rickenbacker, that warranted its own photo.

Midsummer Music Fest: Opening Acts

I went to the Midsummer Music Fest last Saturday in Candler Park. The above photo just about sums up how hot it was… luckily for me I didn’t get to enjoy the nice shade because my sister and I had to stake out our spots for Guster, the festival’s headliner, early.

Drippity Drop

The other day I saw a tutorial on how to make water droplet photos on strobist and decided to try it out for myself because I was bored.
