HS Football – Last Regular Season Game I tried something new at the Pomona and Arvada West football game Friday night. Something I never thought was possible. Something I never thought MaxPreps would accept. I shot the first quarter of the game, which started at 7pm, without flash. Not only without flash, but at ISO […]
HS Soccer – CHSAA 5A Playoffs – First Round Ok, I know Colorado State University is in Ft. Collins and their mascot is a Ram (he was pretty tiny compared to the University of Colorado Buffaloes mascot Ralphie, but that is another story), but are you really going to name your high school mascot Lambkins? I […]
HS Soccer – CHSAA 5A State Playoffs What a wild game. Thank goodness it was a 4pm start, because I would have hated to rely on my flash for this game. The Arvada West Wildcats soccer team were hosting a first round playoff game against the Liberty Lancers from Colorado Springs. And right away, you […]
HS Soccer – CHSAA 4A State Playoffs So I did something new for Wednesday’s soccer game. I used flash. Yuck. I have avoided shooting 6pm soccer games like the plague all season because I absolutely hate using flash for soccer. With football, you have a little bit of time to frame up the action. You […]
HS Volleyball I headed up to Ralston Valley High School Tuesday night to cover my last volleyball game of the season as the Mustang’s hosted the Cherry Creek Bruins. This was the Mustang’s last home game of the regular season. Early in the first game, it looked like the Mustangs were well matched with the […]
MLS Soccer – Playoffs? I decided after a long night of editing high school football photos, to forgo the CU Buffs game against Charleston Southern. I was originally going to shoot that game instead of the Rapids. I had a friend who shoots for NewSport and MaxPreps and is also the CSU team photographer coming […]
HS Football My third football game in 2 days was not my best. It did start off really well. My goal when shooting high school sports is to deliver high quality images of student athletes to parents. It makes my day when a parent thanks me for photographing their kids games. But something happened Friday […]
HS Football Why a 5A football game on Friday night between two top 10 schools would be before a 4A game is beyond me, but at least it was in the sun. The lighting was both good and bad. If you were on the west side of the stadium, the lighting was gorgeous for the […]
HS Football Thursday night football. The Ralston Valley Mustangs were looking to rebound from last weeks cross town rivalry loss to Pomona with another cross town rivalry game against the Arvada West Wildcats. And bounce back they did. With a 22 point second quarter, the Mustangs destroyed the visiting Wildcats 41-14. This was a cold […]
HS Soccer The Standley Lake Gators HS Soccer team only needed a 1st half goal off of a penalty kick to take down the visiting Lakewood Tigers 1-0 at the North Area Athletic Complex in Arvada on Wednesday. I set up my goal remote, and only got one halfway decent shot from it. A shot […]
