Duke vs Maryland MBB 2011

In Dukes win over Maryland -Curry, Thornton Spark 2nd Half Run to give Duke a 71-64 victory

"For a youngster in a game like this not playing in the first half and really he's not in that seven-man rotation for Tyler to play as well as he did tonight is really one of the things that make you love coaching," Krzyzewski said. "That's just a great performance, he had four steals, he took a couple of charges, he played 12 minutes but he gave us energy."

High School football is in full swing!!!!
Perhaps the most challenging HS Sport to shoot. Poor lighting on cold nights trying to get 500 shutter speed at ISO 2500 is a a challenge. The last 2 years I have mounted a SB 800 20 inches below lens on a home made bracket attached to my mono pod . This approach get s light up into the helmets and helps reduce red eye( or Demon eye)
I set SB 800 to manual 1/3 step below 1/2 power
ISO 500-800 SS 250 and F 2.8-F 4



Here are a few shots using my setup

I had not shot soccer since last fall and the end of High school and college soccer in our area. After shooting Lacrosse all spring it took me a while to adjust to the pace of the game. And to also adjust to the lights on a field I had never shoot at before.
Looking forward to my next outing at Wake Med soccer park and another Rail Hawks Game!!!
