That is. With all my assignments that I may get and will get. It is very important to ensure I meet with the client and understand exactly what is required. While I thought the assignment was strictly sports related it was not. It involved a lot of lifestyle photography, showing the patrons and athletes in their elements, it was a fun experience as all assignments should be :) , I enjoyed it thoroughly. In terms of gear I was shooting the 30D and lens artillery consisted of the, 70-200mm f/2.8L, 28-75mm f/2.8 and a 85mm f/1.8. Sadly I’m unable to publish any of the images as of yet. So till that happens I guess your stuck with my old mug. Look for a themed concept I’m working on with @vampnixen just a matter of getting the right model for each role. It’ll be fun. More to come on that.

For this particular event I was shooting backup for an agency “IMGwire”. The lead photographer, and ceo of IMGwire “giovanni powell” had sent video and still images of the venue via blackberry to me from midday of the 14th of january.

This gave me an idea of seating arrangements. Lighting arrangements and where may be in accessible or where ild want to be to get my required images. Based on the lighting conditions it was clear that I needed my glass to be f2/8 or faster. So I took the 50mm F1.8 and 28 – 75mm f2/8 which severd quit well. The camera bodies used for this assignment was the eos 30d and IMGwires eos 1D MKIII.

The images from the event came out pretty good. as a preview, in the image to the left we have the sportswoman of 2009 Bridget Foster, The rest of the images are available in my portfolio for viewing go check em out.
