After the California Bears at Colorado game, I was looking forward to a light week of shooting leading up to my birthday on the 2nd. My first game of the week was Columbine High School girls basketball at Ralston Valley. I had seen Columbine already over at Arvada West High School when they faced the […]
After shooting the Super Buffs I had to get in the mindset to photograph a game now. The California Golden Bears were visiting Boulder this afternoon and it looked like it would be a good game for the Buffaloes. I was worried because the last game I shot at Boulder my Canon 7D had a bunch […]
Sigma Corporation of USA sent me one of their Optical Stabilizer versions of their 70-200mm 2.8 DG HSM to review for this site and for the Fred Miranda website. Let me start off by saying, I am not a pixel peeper. I typically do not pull down an image and zoom in to 100% […]
I have been wanting to do this for a while. Actually even before I moved to Colorado. At the Great Alaska Shootout they have fans dress up and the fan favorite gets to sit on a couch placed court side to watch the game. But, I moved away. At one of my first football games […]
Aspen High School made the trip down to Arvada to play Ralston Valley at the Apex Ice Arena in Arvada. I had a strobe malfunction, so instead of setting 4 up, I set 3 up. I liked the idea of a early game on a Saturday. I was so looking forward to sleeping in, going […]
So, after my 7D started acting up the night before at the Buffaloes game, I followed instructions found on the web on other peoples fixes, and then I headed over to Ralston Valley high school to shoot the top ranked Chatfield varsity basketball game against RV. As soon as I set up my strobes (I […]
This started out being a good night and ended a bad night. I started out going out to shoot some pregame stuff, and I ended up over by the Stanford bench, and asked one of the ball boys who had been with the team the longest. I was hoping there was a trainer or a […]
A day after the loss to the Ralston Valley Lady Mustangs, the A-West Lady Wildcats were at it again, hosting Bear Creek. Hope was the home team would bounce back from the shellacking they received from RV and take it to Bear Creek. As you can see in the photo above, it was not going […]
Since shooting high schools in the Denver area this school year, I am learning a lot about the histories and rivalries. In 2000 Ralston Valley opened to alleviate the student/teacher ratios at Pomona and Arvada West high schools. Almost immediately, Ralston Valley started winning the League Championships and would go to the State Playoff many […]
Wow! Did I bite off more than I could chew. Arvada West was hosting a 16 team Varsity Wrestling Invitational Tournament, and I thought, wow, 16 teams….lots of sales through Maxpreps!. So I headed over to Arvada West and walked into the gym. I got there a little late, so I had to set my […]
