Last regular season games for the Bobcats

without comments

This past Saturday and Wednesday (the 20th and 24th) both the Men’s and Women’s basketball teams played their last two regular season games at home, and won all 4 games. From here they go to the Peach Belt Conference quarter finals this Tuesday and Wednesday.  I tried a bit of a different technique with these, syncing at between 1/320 and 1/500 of a second (yes, the D40 does hit these speeds fine) and boosting the strobes to 1/2 power to drop the background down a little more. I think it worked out pretty well, although the flashes really suck down power in this configuration. Since this was also the homecoming game and the stadium was packed, I spent a little more time than usual between games shooting some of the people and other things going on. The pictures of everything else going on really helps to bring the action and pulse of the game closer. I added this gallery thing here too so things stay a little bit more organized with some of these posts that have a lot more photos in them. Keep an eye on the file names to know when they were shot (all of my photos are named as YYMMDD_[sequence #]
