first and ten, do it again...

So I went to waterloo this past weekend and picked up a photo request for the Laurier University Paper. It was a national cheer-leading competition. Needless to say it was very loud, and gave me a headache. Anyways, I got this shot from it of York University Cheerleaders. I wanted to post a couple of people falling, but thats just mean, maybe another time when I'm in a bad mood I'll post them haha.

Homecoming Weekend.

So just a quick blog update.

I went to Waterloo last Saturday for homecoming. Originally I didn't want to shoot the game, because in all my time at Laurier, I had not gotten plastered and gone to the homecoming game. I was always shooting it. But as it got closer to the date, I had an assignment on depth of field due this week, and I would miss taking photos to much, so I decided to compromise and shoot just the first half.

Mother nature didn't agree with my compromise. As soon as the half time buzzer rang, it started to down pour. So I ran back to the stands where my friends were sitting and hurriedly packed my gear up and we made our way to the kegger.

I got some good shots from the first half. I got this shot of receiver Shamawd Chambers running the ball into the end zone. I had some other good ones, like the ones I have done for the Cord in the past (catches, tackles, qb throwing etc). But I liked this one because you could see the eyes of Shamawd and how intensely focused he is. And its something different than the Ryan Stewart football style I usually do haha. Anyways hope ya enjoy.

Also a big thank you to the Cord Photo Managers, Yusuf and Nick, for getting me into the game on such short notice, thanks boys!

I shot this with a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L
