It has been a while since I could post here but, finally, basketball season is back! Shaw and St Aug kick off the season and are doing fine. As of today, Shaw men are undefeated and St Aug men have lost only one. The lady teams are not fairing well.
it has been a while since posting sue to a wedding and some other events but now back to posting. St Augustine's College played Livingstone for their homecoming and ended up winning 31-17. Great photo conditions and was happy with the results.
I went to Fayetteville NC to cover the Shaw-Fayetteville State Game for The Carolinian. Weather was overcast with a chance for rain which made for nice flat lighting,. Close game and FayState ame away with a 29-28 victory.
On October 3rd, I shot a wedding with Aaron Gustwiller and was a madcap day from start to finish. Despite some issues with shooting and setting up, things worked well in the end.
The VA State Trojans came to town on Sept. 19th to take on St. Augustine's college. Sort of a slow start with no real movement in the St Aug offense but after the passing game kicked in, St. Aug rolled onto a 27-14 victory. Shot with a pair of Canon EOS 1D Bodies and a Nikon D1H (!) digital camera on a 300/2.8 AF-I lens.
On September 13th, I accepted the monetary award for having an image which is BEST in SHOW at the 2009 NC Biennial Photographers Exhibition at Meredith College. Entering it, I did not expect to win but wanted an image displayed. After trying for many years, success came and darn proud of the outcome. The exhibition runs until November 1st.
This photo " The Debutantes Procession" won best of show in 2009.
I was sent to cover the St. Aug Charleston WVa football game in Raleigh for The Carolinian on Sept 5th. Images were OK at best but gets the job done. One was picked up by the WVA Gazette-Mail in Charleston. Score was 43-41 Charleston (3-OT)
ON 8-22, i went to get some shots of Shaw's scrimmage game to get an idea of what is coming for the season. Pictures are not as good as the St. Aug game but will work! Overcast skies but makes shooting easier.
Well, football season is on the way here and shot the St. Aug Scrimmage game for The Carolinian to get an idea of what's upcoming...........and to seee if i forgot how to shoot it. They're not too bad. Images shot with a Canon EOS 1D and 1D Mk2N with a 70-200 2.8L and 300/4L IS lenses.
On August 5th, the Adult League Championships were held at St. Aug 's Gym in Raleigh. The Phase II Warriors won a tough contest with a 107-105 score. Another season done in the Chavis league and I'm ready for football to start on August 29th. Two games in one day but can do it!
On August first, I went to cover the Railhawks -Austin Aztex game in Cary for The Carolinian. Images are not too bad and marked the first time using the D2Hs at 1600. Worked great and much better than the D2h body. Cameras used here are the EOS 1D and the D2Hs.
