This past weekend I photographed a doubleheader as Oakland Community College hosted Macomb Community College. Macomb CC came from behind to win the first game in extra innings before again winning the second game. Here are a few pictures from the day.
Is Sports Shooter really worth it? Yes it is! A few months ago I joined Sports Shooters, I wasn’t sure what to expect from it but I decided to go for it and pay the $25.00 annual fee. Since that time it has been a great help. I can look up stadiums where I have never shot at and it will tell me where the media entrance is as well as other useful information. I can look up contacts for teams or agencies. I can ask questions on the message board, I can even sell my used gear. I can post a portfolio. However, it can be much more. It can be a place where you reach new clients. This recently happened to me when I was contacted by Lacrosse Magazine who found me through Sports Shooter. Fortunately, I had the evening free and was able to shoot for them. The $25.00 that I spent has brought me a lot of useful knowledge through the knowledge that is shared on the site as well as brought me clients, all of which is very useful.
Here are a few pictures from the game. Be sure to check out more right here.
I recently was able to photograph the Detroit Pistons as they hosted the Chicago Bulls. It was a very exciting game and with just second left Derrick Rose made a three pointer over Greg Monroe to send the game into overtime. In overtime the Bulls came out on top 100-94. Here are a few images and be sure to check out the rest right here.
The winter that we had, or lack there of, was very mild compared to most winters here in Michigan. When we had record breaking temps back in March I was able to get my first round of golf under my belt for the year. Today, I was able to photograph my first golf tournament of the year, which was the Oakland Community College Invitational. Being the athletic photographer at Oakland CC I have photographed this tournament the previous two years and those two years consisted of golf, rain, snow, and some more rain. Not the most enjoyable weather. However, today was awesome! Sun, more sun, and even more sun made for a really enjoyable time and some nice light. Here are some pictures. They are all black and white but were shot in color and converted. Also, be sure to see who got a little hungry during the tournament. Hope you enjoy!
