Highlight Photos from Lafayette High Varsity Water Polo Vs. Parkway

Lafayette Lancers Vs. Parkway West Game photos! 

This was my first time photographing water polo. Like lacrosse it is fast paced and brutal. In terms of endurance of the players possibly more brutal. Since things are in close quarters and low light it is hard to get good images with faces not blocked by water. As with any sport getting good images depends on being in the right position with the right gear and to some extent knowing what is going to happen before it actually does.

Photos shot with a 10 year old Nikon D2hs

For the photographers who come to my blog.
All the photos shot from this past Saturdays game of the Clayton boys LAX were shot on an oldy but goody. Using my 10 year old Nikon D2hs and my Nikon 300 2.8 telephoto of about the same vintage! Dollar for dollar a very good sports set up considering that I paid $100 bucks for the D2hs body on EBay!  Now that is what I call a shoe string. See Ken Rockwell's recommendation information. This is a an old professional camera with all kinds of control and bells and whistles but a small sensor and 10 year old technology. What it offers is pro-shooting speed. The D2hs can crank at 8 shots per second relentlessly. It seems to be best in daylight which allows for fast focus and you can't crop the images very much do to the size but it is a trooper. The one I picked up shows plenty of wear but still goes with no problems. In some ways it runs rings around my D600 in battery life and shot speed. The images coming off the D600 are much larger and much better over all which allows me to crop significantly and still get great detail. But for someone who is shooting action frame speed can often make the difference. I find myself bumping into the D600 buffer all the time.

New Pages for Clayton Greyhounds Lacrosse Photos

Clayton LAX Varsity Gets their first season Win! 

New Page Structure for Clayton LAX game photos! 

I am creating separate pages for the Varsity team and JV team Game photos from now on. Follow the links above in the header bar to take you to the most recent postings of game highlight photos. I will continue to try and photograph/post both varsity games and when time allows the JV team as well. Parents and players I will notify the team by email when I have done a post so browse through the images to see if you or your player is featured. I try to capture the action and post just a few of the photos taken. If you like what you see let me or the team know and we will consider doing another highlight book at the season end. Celebrating the Clayton LAX Family!!!

Let's get more wins!!!! GO HOUNDS!!!
