BYU vs Air Force – Day 79 of 365

written by dav.d

My family invaded Lavell Edwards Stadium to watch BYU play Air Force Academy. BYU hasn’t been doing very well playing at home – but they did win this game. Next week? BYU will play Utah at home – I don’t have tickets to that game but will be watching it in HD with the family.

BYU vs. Colorado State University Football – Day 24 of 365

It is that time of year again and my family was able to secure about 4 tickets to 4 different home games for BYU football. I would love to be a sports photographer down on the side line, however, sports photography is EXPENSIVE and I don’t think the return on investment is that great for photographers. To be in that league I would need at least the Nikkor f/4 200-400mm lens and another camera body or two. And to sweeten the deal I would probably need a 500mm or a 600mm lens.

Would I object if Santa Claus left that under the Christmas tree? No. Will it happen? I doubt it. But it would be fun.

And can you imagine photographing portraits with a 200-400mm lens? Dang that would be cool.

BYU Hat – Day 22 of 365

Side light gives a huge dimension to a subject

For the record my family’s blood bleed BYU blue. And so I photographed my BYU baseball hat. To make the image pop I lit the logo from the side with an Nikon SB-800. Once I put a my macro lens on my camera it is very difficult to remove. It takes very sharp photographs. Even though it can spend a long time trying to lock focus on subjects.
