Ch(y)ess
I shot these photos on a trip to Macon. I had just gotten lunch with The Telegraph’s photo editor, Woody Marshall, when we spotted this man sitting by this chess set out next to the road. We pulled over and shot a bit. Sadly, I only had my 50mm f/1.8 with me at the time [...]
The Gymdogs are “Back 4 More”
Today was the first home meet for the Gymdogs, Georgia’s gymnastics team. They’ve won the national title three years straight and are looking to go for a fourth. I was able to get a photo pass for the match even though I wasn’t shooting for anyone in particular. The last time I shot Gymdogs was [...]
Don’t drink the water
Today I didn’t have anything else to do so I decided to go shoot a swim meet being held on campus between UGA and Tennessee. I’ve never shot a swim meet before so I tried a variety of different things to see what worked and what didn’t. I played with some settings in my camera [...]
Canon 200mm f/2.0 and 800mm f/5.6
Back in October I mentioned that Canon had announced they were going to release two new lenses (New Canon Lenses). Well, on the verge of the PMA Trade Show, Canon has announced they are ready to go on sale. Cnet has the coverage here.
How a camera lens is made
Gizmodo posted a video about how an optical lens is made. I found it interesting and thought it would be worth reposting here. You can see it by going here.
Portland Trail Blazers vs. Atlanta Hawks
Tonight I shot my first pro-level sporting event. It was also the first time in about 7 or 8 years since I’d even been to Phillips Arena in Atlanta. Anyways, I shot the game between The Hawks and The Portland Trailblazers. It was a really close game that went into overtime so I spent the [...]
Youth Empowerment @ Cedar Shoals High School
This past week The Banner-Herald asked me to shoot photos about this group of minority students who encourage other minority students to take more rigorous course loads. Here are the pictures that are running in Sunday’s paper. Senior Daron Walker, top talking with fellow Empowered Youth member Khadijah Nuriddin at Cedar Shoals High School, is [...]
Hog Tied – Arkansas vs. Georgia
Georgia beat the Arkansas Razorbacks tonight. This was actually the first of a three day basketball marathon shooting session for me. Tomorrow night is Women’s basketball against Alabama, and Monday I’m shooting the Hawks down in Atlanta (all assignments for the AP). Click here or “Read More” below the photo to see some others I [...]
Alabama vs. Georgia (Men’s Basketball)
Tonight I shot Georgia’s game against Alabama. I didn’t feel like I got anything super special, but I’ve got two games this weekend I’m shooting so I’ll have some more chances to try and up my game a level. Oh yeah, I was asked to shoot the Hawks game in Atlanta on Monday. I’m pretty [...]
Megaband
I shot a show at The Georgia Theatre last night. The bands who played were The Buddy System, We vs. The Shark, and Megaband. The headliner last night was a band called Megaband. They are also known as Contrband, Zeldaband or Ninjagaidenband depending on which game they are playing at any given performance. The band [...]
