2013 NIAA Northern Region Division 1 Playoff Baseball… Galena vs. Carson

The weather has finally come and dropped a bunch of water on the high school baseball tournament fields in Northern Nevada… which caused some creative scheduling with today’s games, several having to be moved due to unplayable conditions… tonight Galena hosted Carson at Carson’s Ron McNutt field (for those of you that don’t know… Coach McNutt is now coaching at Galena… so a bit of a homecoming for Coach McNutt…)

Galena ended their season in a four way tie for second place with a 16-6 record and entered the playoffs, due to the tie-break system in the 5th spot.  Carson ended in 8th with a 7-15 record.  Tonight’s game went to Galena who will face Spanish Springs tomorrow in the next round of the playoffs… Check out the NIAA Site for the full bracket….

Something a little different tonight… I’ve been learning about time lapse photography and thought I’d give it a try… this is a 1:43 “movie” from the warmups and the entire game tonight… I’ve gotta do some more research regarding the players… but the sky is quite cool until it gets dark… then it’s just… well… dark :)

And here are some additional shots from the night… no particular order… :)  There are many many more in the galleries from the season.  Please contact me with any questions regarding the galleries.  Thanks fellas for another season!

… and the season rolls on…

Hey everyone,

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted… I just want you to know that I’m still shooting and still posting to the galleries, just busy with league work and trying keep up with some sleep… :)

Just wanted to post one photo today about something that happened yesterday at the Carson High… Yesterday was a busy night at CHS. It was Senior Night, Sponsor Night… and we had a first pitch by a young fella named Jayden.  Jayden was a visitor with the Make a Wish Foundation.  I don’t know Jayden’s story but the way his face lighted up being around the fellas….130501_Carson High Make a Wish Jayden

2013 Carson Douglas High School Baseball… mid season tournament

It’s “mid season” time… Spring Break… well… if you’re Washoe County… Carson and Douglas had their Spring Break last week… So goes the majority, so goes the schedule… Spanish Springs is hosting a Spring Break Tournament this week… Day One, originally scheduled for Monday got pushed out 24 hours due to the snow on the fields (thank you!)… Play resumed Tuesday afternoon/evening at Carson High and Spanish Springs….

Carson hosted Douglas for the first game at Carson High… Here are a few shots from the game… I tried something “new”… not sure what I think… I’m not sure if many of you caught the photo that the Nevada Appeal ran awhile back of Tim Lincecum of the SF Giants… this is the same “technique”… if you can call it that… NO Photoshop here, absolutely NONE, this is all in camera… This done in Photoshop would appear much different, less “ghosting” for lack of a better term… (Check out Custom Collages to see an example of that… click here scroll to the bottom…).  It’s something different… I’m gonna continue playing with it… I have some ideas on how to use it a little differently that may give me better results… Stay tuned!
