Find out what your blogs reading level is. Haha. Some how mine is genius level! I'm a little skeptical of this because I can comprehend my blog and I am FAR from a genius!!
More Bball
I've been busy with bball and hockey lately and a little wrestling. Here's a quick 1 from a Branford High game last week.
Winter Sports
The winter sports season has begun. Not the best time of year for photographers. Having to shoot indoors after the spring and fall seasons is kind of a drag. Last night I shot the North Branford girls basketball game at North Branford High. That gym is so dimly lit and it's tough to get enough light for your photos with just 1 on camera flash. So I decided to use 2 off camera flashes, 1 setup on the sideline at mid court aimed at the top of the key and 1 on the baseline corner, undeneath the hoop. Both triggered with pocketwizards. This created a nice cross light effect.
If you look at this photo you can see the light hitting the player from the top right and left. 
If you look in the top right corner, that is where flash #1 is set up. 
It certainly brightens up the dark high school gyms with this setup. I'll try and do some more experimenting in my upcoming games. This was the first time I actually tried this. You can find more photos on the Shore Publishing site.
Love this shot
Heres a photo I took of my lovely fiance yesterday.
X-mas Tree Day
Today Deana and I went out and cut down our Xmas tree. It was freezing out!! We picked out a great tree but when we got home we thought the tree was going to bust through the living room windows like the Griswold's because it looked so big. It was perfect size though after a little trimming! Here are a few pictures from our day.
This was at the tree farm in Branford
Here's me with the trimmers(a box cutter - that's all we had)
