OSU Spring Football Game 2011

Finally spring football is over but after today's game I think the majority would like to see a little more time for practice. This was by far the most boring spring game I have shot but like always I treat it as if I were shooting game day in the fall and came away with some decent photos for OSU and apparently The Oregonian to use.

Spring Football 2011

Tomorrow I will be shooting the OSU spring game (so obviously there will be a post of that tomorrow) which signifies the end of spring football practices. I did a pretty poor job covering spring football this year. Not sure why but I just had no motivation to cover spring football and lets be honest, you have to be pretty interested in football (which I am not) to get excited about watching a bunch of practices.

Oregon State 7, Washington State 6

Once again the Beavers found a way to win by tying the the game 6 - 6 in the bottom of the 8th then scoring the winning run in the bottom of the 9th. Oregon State's current win streak is now at 11 strait and each game seems to be just a little more exciting then the last. 

Oregon State Downs Wazzu 4-2

There is nothing better than a baseball game played in late afternoon sunlight. Tonight I tried to take advantage of the lighting that I have been waiting for all year. Here is what I came up with.  

Beavers Sweep Sun Devils!

Beavers Come Up Short Against Timbers

Tonight OSU played the Portland Timbers in an exhibition match at Paul Lorenz Field in Corvallis. The Beavers put up a good fight but just didn't have enough to keep the Timbers scoreless and lost 1-0. I ended last soccer season with some of my best soccer photos yet so I was really looking forward to shooting tonight's game, and with all the hype surrounding the Timbers lately the fans filled the stands making the photos just a little bit better.

What A Comeback!

When Oregon State fell behind 6-2 against Arizona State today I was pretty sure that we would all be heading back to the stadium tomorrow with the series tied. Somehow OSU pulled off an amazing comeback winning the series when Arizona State walked Brian Stamps with the bases loaded. I was a little disappointed about missing Friday night's game but today's game made up for that.

John Knight Twilight Meet

Today I shot a track meet at Western Oregon and pretty much got my butt kicked. Since I don't shoot track very often I don't have many safely shots to attempt or favorite angles to shoot from, and with events overlapping each other I had a hard time keeping track of all the action. The upside is that this was a twilight meet so the lighting was great all day.

OSU Baseball in Portland

The Beavers played in Portland against the Pilots on Tuesday afternoon. After a long time deciding whether or not I would go, I decided that I would be happier if I spent the money to drive up there than if I had stayed in Corvallis. I am glad that I went because shooting in a different stadium is always a lot of fun for me and the Beavs were in their road uniforms which I rarely get to shoot them in.
