Two Days of Softball

Saturday I was bored and wanted to get another girls softball game in. They were away at Brighton so I grabbed the equipment and drove there. Gates held up pretty well and the game was a pitching duel until the Barons broke through with a few runs in the 4th inning. I tried a few different angles to hopefully get a new portfolio shot. Didn't get that shot but some interesting photos.


Monday I shot some more softball but this time it was not a Gates Chili game. A parent asked me to come shoot the Northstar Christian Academy's pitcher. She is having a phenomenal season including a 22 strikeout extra inning game. She also had not allowed a walk all year. Of course, when I show up she didn't have her best game. Nonetheless, she was very impressive and I took alot of photos of both teams (they played Mercy).

JV Lacrosse with a Touch of Baseball

JV lacrosse followed up the varsity team by playing HFL also. On this friday they played the cougars to a tight game. After getting in 3 quarters, I made my way over to the varsity baseball field and shot about 2 innings of the game. They were playing Rush Henrietta and the light was starting to dim.

I am way behind with the blog and may start doubling up for a couple days. I also have to catch up because in a week I will be making my road trip to Yellowstone.

Rainy Day Sports

It was overcast as I shot JV tennis early in the evening. The tennis team was playing Greece Athena at the middle school courts. I rushed to get as many athletes in as possible because I knew the rain was coming. The photos didn't come out how I wanted them too, but there were a few decent action shots.

An hour later the boys lacrosse game against the Honeoye Falls-Lima Cougars began and the rain started to fall too. It was my opportunity to try out my rain cover for the 300mm and my new rain jacket and pants. The cover worked great with a few kinks to work out from going horizontal to vertical quickly. The rain gear kept me dry and I was able to pull off some shots I would normally have a difficult time getting in that weather.

Track and Baseball

Took a ton of pictures running around the track at Gates Chili as they took on Webster Schroeder. Alot of events take place at the same time so it is very confusing. I did my best running around for a few hours. I then finished the night with a few innings of varsity baseball. the baseball team was playing Spencerport.

Boys Tennis and Baseball

On a beautiful Monday afternoon, I fit two boys events in at the High School. I was able to catch a few shots of the boys tennis team matches early. They played on the Gates-Chili Middle school courts against Rush Henrietta.

After I grabbed a few photos of them, I walked over to the varsity baseball game. The boys were playing the Churchville Chili Saints. The Saints have a very good team with alot of returning players from a game I shot last year at Dwyer stadium in the sectional finals. It was very surprising to watch Gates defeat this favored team. Very glad to see GC showing some improvement after such a rough start to the year.

Hilton Lacrosse Dominates the Face-off

After 5 inninngs of varsity softball I drove over to the high school stadium for the boys lacrosse game. They were playing the Hilton Cadets tonight. Not too much to talk about in the game except the great ability of the Hilton face-off man. I never have seen a high schooler dominate the face-off like this athlete did. I am pretty sure he won every single face-off that night against Gates.

Sunny Girls Softball

Here are some more varsity girls softball photos taken on a very bright sunny day showing some harsh shadows. Gates played at home against Rush Henrietta. I didn't get to see the whole game because I had to leave for boys lacrosse. I shot about 6 innings so I am unsure who won. Here are some shots...

Boys Golf at Chili Country Club

I took off some time at work Wednesday to photograph the boy's golf team. They were facing off against the Hilton Cadets. I believe Gates Chili won the match but I am not sure because I only stayed for a few holes. I did not want to distract the golfers too much, so i got the shots I needed and left. I hope the boy's team enjoy the photos. I am sure they don't see too much media covering them until postseason matches.

One Photographer, Two Softball Games

I wanted to fit in two games Tuesday at Gates Chili. Both the varsity and JV softball teams were playing at the same time right next to each other. After shooting about four innings of varsity, I walked over and shot a little bit more than 3 innings of JV. I try to at least shoot each JV sport once each season and this was my chance to fit softball in. Here is a mix of varsity(solid blue) and JV(blue and white) photos...

Girls Lacrosse in the Dusk

The girls played a very tough Pittsford Panthers lacrosse team at the Gates Chili High School stadium. I shot this game after about 5 innings of baseball so I was not going to stay for second half. Tryed a few different angles including far behind the net for the coming-at-you effect. Didn't really ever get that shot but did get some great low shots from across the whole field. Check them out.
