OSU Spring Soccer

A few weeks ago I shot a couple of the games that our soccer teams play in the offseason. Not really sure why it has taken me so long to get to editing the photos from those games but they are done now. Here are few from a women's game at Paul Lorenz Field and a men's game played at the NIKE World Campus in Beaverton, Oregon.

Civil War Series 2011 Part 2

Today OSU lost the series to Oregon. Like last night, the final score was 1-4 and again we looked pretty unhappy after the game. I tried to be a little more creative with photos in PK Park this afternoon but it just doesn't have a lot of great angles to shoot from, the sun (when it was out) did help with making the photos look a little more interesting though.

Civil War Series 2011

Last night the Beavers lost the first game of the Civil War Series to the Ducks. As far as I'm concerned it was a pretty boring game to shoot and the stadium's lack of interesting angles to shoot from did not help. Hopefully today will be better for OSU and I will try to find some cool shooting locations. Go Beavs!

Seeing In Black & White

Lately I have been looking at my photos in black and white, and I don't really know why. Something I have noticed though is that when you take away the color in images different things pop in a photo. Backgrounds that seem pretty busy in color can look great in B&W. Anyway since I am going through this little B&W phase I figured I would post a few that I like from the baseball season so far.

Oregon State At Safeco Field

Words can not explain how amazing the sight was when I stepped out of the tunnel and onto the field at Safeco. When the game finally started I found that from the designated photo areas there are no bad angles which is awesome and that all the backgrounds are pretty good. After tonights game I have decided that I must work with MLB before I am done taking photos.

Oregon State Softball

On Thursday I shot the softball game against Washington. I had no intention of shooting the game but my boss called me about 2 hours before and since my only other option was to do homework I decided to shoot the game.

Oregon State 13, Portland 3

For only the second time in Oregon State history a player has hit for the cycle. Ryan Dunn accomplished this on Tuesday night against the Pilots in a non-conference game. Honestly I had no idea this happened until well after the game was over. During the game I tend to lose track of the game and what is taking place because I think more about where I need to go to get good photos.

Postseason Lacrosse

This afternoon I happened to be in Portland when I remembered that OSU lacrosse would be playing the ducks in a postseason game. I was already on my way to the Nike Campus to watch the OSU soccer team play and thought, "why not stop by the lacrosse game on the way home?" This was a much better idea than going back to Corvallis to watch the baseball team lose.

Global Formula Racing: Albany Testing

On Tuesday the Global Formula Racing team tested their 2011 car at the Albany Fairgrounds. It was pretty cool to finally see it flying around the parking lot in the sunlight since I have only seen it in the shop under less then ideal lighting.
