Some times one just get by you.
For two of the final three days of the decade, I found myself on one of my favorite places to be – the sidelines of a sporting event.
For me, shooting sports never gets old – well maybe really hot days lugging gear around a golf tournament or in the rain at any event then it’s old real quick.
This time of year, Walt Disney World hosts a boy’s soccer showcase featuring elite teams from across the country
and a Canadian team this year. I was hire by Disney to shoot 2 full days of the boy’s tournament. Which over lapped
with my already planned coverage of the Wisconsin vs. Miami Champs Sports Bowl and a Magic-Bucks NBA game.
But I figured what the hell.
With gear in tow – Nikon D3 camera bodies, a Nikon 600 f:4 lens, and a Nikon 70-200 lens, I hit the field at the Disney’s
Wide World of Sports complex shooting mainly tight action, which is what the client asked for. I used the same set up for the
football game, but switched to a Nikon 300 f: 2.8 for the basketball game.
Overall I was pleased with my take from what turned out to be 22 hours of sports shooting in a 48 hour period.
Here are a few of my favorites from the two days.
The Magic's Dwight Howard (12) knocks the Bucks Andrew Bogut (6) to the ground.
A dejected player walks off the field after his team lost on penalty kicks.
Dwight Howard looks to pass over Brandon Jennings.
Wisconsin running back John Clay (32) scores one of his two touchdowns.

It was nice to see the refs let the teams play the game the way it's supposed to be played.
