Hockey Portland vs Prince George

Filed under: , , , , by:

I was glad to see Portland Winterhawks with Red jerseys.  It's little easier to focus than white against ice.


# 28 Stefan Schneider and Winterhawks Caption #6 Brett Ponich
 
Hawks are super charged this season.  #55 Tayler Jordan was jumping into Cougars bench.

 
Offensively, Hawks dominated throughout the game.  They scores 4 goals in the first quarter.



Final score Winterhawks 5 Cougars  1

Hockey Portland vs Seattle

Filed under: , , , , , by:

Hockey season is officially begun and it was against Seattle Thunderbirds.
Shot was taken with Canon 1D Mark III + 300 2.8 is @ ISO 1600, F2.8, 1/500 sec.
This is my first season using 1D Mark III and I love MK 3 so far (low noise and fast AF)
I don't have to run any noiseware software anymore.  It's clean up to ISO 1600.  


Little bit too tight I think.  I need to learn shooting vertical.  However, most editors, websites, blogs etc likes horizontal  rather than vertical picture.




It was great season opener game.  Final score Portland 6 Seattle 1


Friday night football [Tualatin @ Beaverton]

Filed under: , , , , , , , by:

Thought it would be pretty easy assignment.  Shoot couple of images for editorial web use.  I was wrong.  I was fighting through not so great lighting condition (at least it wasn't raining)...
I was at ISO 3200 F2.8 1/200 ~ 320 and it was about two stop under on back of my LCD.
No wonder other photographers went other games (some started 5:30).  Anyways, game was pretty exciting actually (plus Beaverton HS homecoming night)








Final score Tualatin 40 Beaverton 22 

Family Photo Session

Filed under: , , , , , , , by:

I had a photo session at the Edgefield McMenamins. First picture was taken by the small golf course nearby.  
I shot this less than 15 min (we could have hit by a golfball if it took any longer than that) with Elinchrom Ranger Quadra camera right.  
Full power with shoot through umbrella and shot with 70-200 2.8 @ F8. I like the light quality: soft and directional.


We found cool pinkish door and thought it would look good with female subject.

I like bossy and dramatic shots.  Shot with a 580 EXII on camera right.
I feathered the light (I am using 1 light source here!) so that light fallout is even across.

and decided to have some fun before the session ends
