Princeton, NJ – We were suffering from lacrosse withdrawal because we have not shot a a game since July. It’s a good thing Princeton University held its annual Fall Ball Tournament over the weekend so we can keep our lacrosse photography skills sharp by photographing a couple of games, including the Princeton vs Syracuse and the Penn vs Northwestern match ups.

Boston University saw both its school record 15-game winning streak, and playoff life come to an end Saturday on Drexel’s Vidas Field. Penn’s Quakers, this years top-ranked team in the NCAA Women’s Lacrosse Tournament, ended the Terriers (7th seed) season for the second straight year. (more…)
As the indoor sports season approaches, I thought I would opine on how to simulate arena lighting inside typically dark high school venues. Many people take their fancy DSLR cameras to basketball and ice hockey games thinking they will get great images of their favorite athlete, but all they get are blurry images full of digital noise similar to grain we used to get when we were shooting mostly film. You can spend a lot of money on the fastest lenses and the fanciest camera bodies, but your images still will not come close to rivalling those shot with some artifical light. Save your money. You do not need that 200/2.0 lens. What you need are some strobes.
My suggestions are applicable to basketball, wrestling, track, ice hockey, swimming and other indoor events in dark locations. I will talk about my strategy using Dynalite strobes and packs, but they are certainly applicable if you plan to use monolights from White Lightning, Dynalite, Speedotron, Elinchrom, Profoto and others as well as camera flash units with sync such as the QFlash, SB-800 or 580-EXII. Done right, you can capture images like those below.
