Lakeville North Volleyball Invite/Tournament

Kristen and I photographed the first day of the Lakeville North Volleyball tournament.  These girls can really jump!  I’m amazed at the speed of high school volleyball.  We used the Nikon 24-70, 70-200, and 300mm f/2.8 lenses.  To view more images or to buy prints, visit http://www.onsitemn.com/proofing/

2011 VISA Championships, Women’s Jr. and Sr. Gymnastics, Day 1 Photos

Well, today the Xcel security nazis were especially harsh in enforcing USA Gymnastics ridiculous new camera policy, and I was stuck shooting an Olympus PEN camera and slow telephoto kit lens.  In case you don’t know, these cameras are horrible in low light, and have a non-existent ability to use continuous auto-focus, so I was stuck using manual focus all day and choose blurry feet over extreme noise to help combat the really bad high ISO performance of this camera.  Here’s a few shot’s that turned out ok.

Speaking off… So what’s up with the ridiculous new camera policy at VISA?  It used to be under 6 inches and 210mm, which was fine, but now its no interchangeable lens cameras?  More than a few of us have fun taking pictures at meets with no intentions of infringing on the rights of the athletes.  What was the big dramatic event that led to the changing the rules to screw fans this year?  The men’s events were almost empty already and I can’t imagine this new policy helping fill seats?  Why not just go after those who infringe on athlete rights instead of punishing those who want a few shots for fun, personal, or portfolio use?  I’m done paying big money for good seats until the policy is changed back.
