Basketball a Rough Sport...

High School Basketball can get rough even though it's sometimes called a "non-contact" sport. The fun part of shooting basketball is seeing those moments that happen so quick we don't always know it even happened. Here are a few moments from recent games around Gilbert, Arizona. 

Girls High School Soccer – 2014 Coyote Soccer Classic

Light Light Light

I recently shot the girls championship match of the 2014 Coyote SoccerClassic at Campo Verde High School. I chose attended the game because it was good teams (championship match), and it started at 4:00 with good light to shoot at higher shutter speeds. I was able to use my 70-200 f2.8 with a 1.4 extender for a little more reach. 

Typically High School soccer can be challenging because most games in the Phoenix Arizona area are played after dark. High school fields have challenging light at best and far from ideal. Tournaments generally have day games and therefore much better better light to shoot under.  

The Highland Hawks and Perry Puma girls provided great action as they battled it out for the trophy. Highland walked away with a 1-0 victory to win the Coyote Soccer Classic. Here is some of the action from that game.
