Shot Boys 5A & 6A and Girls 5A before head out to UO vs UP basketball game.  4 games shot by one photographer.  I had hard time killing Canon 5D Mark II batteries till today.  When I got back, I had less than 20% remaining.  1D Mark III had about 60% left.  Anyways, here’s some of today’s shot.  I was little lazy.  I brought a portable folding chair so that I could shoot long ~ time.

I setup remote camera using pocket wizard.  Soon after game started, I noticed that my lens (17-40) was blocked by a ball.  I don’t know how it got there but here’s a image I got after that

There’s usually not many people waiting to get in Aloha football game but today was different.  People were excited and I heard many people canceled their vacation to see this game.  It was big for Aloha and they are back in the playoff in more than two decades.

Speaking of weather, it was bad as you can see in the picture.  I was wearing glove and my camera was covered with Think Tank Hydrophobia which I like a lot.  My camera and lens were all dry after the game.  I highly recommend this.  Aloha played great game despite of their loss.  Final score: Sheldon 26 Aloha 13
