Sooooo... it's been a few years since I have done any serious sports photography and it took a bit to get back in the swing of things. I had a fun evening with some friends at the Grizzlies game sitting at the glass. No fights, but it was still a great game. Every sport is so different and there are so many different ways to shoot each one. I remember now how addicting sports photography can be. All was great except for one thing.... I need a faster telephoto lens :D

I'm Baaaack!...sort of.

So the 365 that dominated my time over the last year has been completed. It was an excellent experience and I am thinking of another project, but in the meantime, I decided to look through a few images taken over the last few months and see what I had.

Pentax K20d, 31mm ltd., f16, 1/250th shutter, ISO 100, Aperture Priority, Center-weighted metering, 1 stop underexposed

I bracketed this shot and ended up taking the slightly underexposed image. I used a polarizer and also a graduated Sunset Cokin filter. I enhanced the oranges a little more and added the framing vignette in Lightroom.
