7th Annual Dan Birdsell Invitational

Finally a spring sporting event that I wanted to cover did not get canceled due to the weather!  Last Friday I spend the afternoon at Deer Park High School for the 7th Annual Dan Birdsell Invitational Track Meet.   For results from this meet you can visit this link at Athletic.net.   Now for a few photos from the meet.

Aaron Castle of Newport moved into second place in the national standings in the Shot Put with this throw of 64′ 7″, click for a larger view.

I also shot a video of Aaron’s second best throw of the finals

Idaho State Girls Basketball Tournament (Day 1)

This week I am covering the Girls Idaho State Basketball Tournament for IdahoSports.com.   Photographing the State Tournament requires a lot of hours.  The drive to Boise from Northern Idaho requires a lot of hours behind the wheel, photographing at least 4 games a day requires a lot of time behind the lens and then after the games are finished the editing requires many late night and early morning hours in front of the computer.  State takes a large investment of time but the quality of play combined with the drama and emotion of the tournament is a recipe for a very fun and exciting three days of basketball.  Here are a few highlights from the games I covered on day 1.

Battle of the Buck 2012

Saturday was a very busy and exhausting day, the first 8 hours was spent photographing a wedding in Sandpoint after that I had to hustle to Priest River in time to set up my lights for the Annual “Battle of the Buck” basketball spirit games.  Weddings are a lot of work and with all that happens at the Battle of the Buck it is one of the more tiring sporting events that I cover, add those together on the same day and you have one sore shooting hand and one useless photographer the next day!  Thankfully it was worth the Battle of the Buck is such a fun event and I would have been really disappointed to miss it!

Here are some shots from the evening, there is also a link at the bottom of this post where you can see all the galleries from the event.
