Almost...in my eyes

"BYU’s Kevin Sagers (11), Robby Stowell (13), Reed Chilton (3), Futi Tavana (17), and BJ Hiapo celebrate the Cougars’ set-winning point in set No. 2 against Pacific at the Smith Fieldhouse on Friday, Jan. 15, 2009. BYU swept the Tigers to win in the Cougars’ 2010 home opener."

I hate shooting volleyball - literally hate it with a passion. But there is something about shooting BYU men's volleyball that makes it fun.

One would think a faster paced game would be harder to shoot, but I never "tagged" so many images during a volleyball game...ever. I cannot wait to get back that's for sure.

What can I say? They have great light, great, fast packed action, exciting jubes, and different angles galore.

I shot the entire game with a 300mm in hopes to break of of my comfort zone. and then broke out the 24-70mm for the final couple plays of set No. 2. I loved the shot above after the set-winning point in set No. 2, but sometimes all it takes is one thing to ruin a photo.

In this case, I thought everything lined up nicely except for that huge hand-blob in the middle, left of the frame. Ugh.
