		<description><![CDATA[As I wrote in tim in print &#124; Summer Softball Championship, I had a few photos from the assignment in the paper. I have a few more photos from that game and thought I would share the slide show. The game was a doubleheader, so there was some decent light for the first game. I had fun with it and am happy with the photos.

I have a few more photos from that game and thought I would share the slideshow.  The game was late, so there was too little light for my lens. I still salvaged a few, so here goes: If you find this post useful or interesting, please consider buying me a cup of coffee.Related Posts:slideshow &#124; Summer Softball Champtionshiptim in print &#124; Summer Softball Playoffstim in print&#124; Summer Softball Championshipslideshow: HECC BaseballTrouble Focusing?

		<description><![CDATA[I had a nice selection of four shots in last week&#8217;s paper,  cCLIFF&#8217;S CARVES OUT A CHAMPIONSHIP. I had had a tough time shooting the previous week&#8217;s playoff game (see Summer Softball Playoffs) as the game started late. This time around, they played a double header and I had good tlight for the first game. Amred with good light and good karma, I came home with some good photos. PHOTOS BY TIM O&#8217;BRIEN Above, Cliff&#8217;s Meat Market&#8217;s Lucy Stephenson swings for the fence early in the first game of the hard-fought double-header Carrboro Co-Rec softball finals against Chapel Hill Air at Hank Anderson Park on Tuesday. Below, Chapel Hill Air&#8217;s Ed Sawyer takes a good cut during the first game. Cliff&#8217;s Meat Market went on to win both games to take the championship in the Carrboro Parks and Recreation league. Above was the lead photo for the story, catching a good hack at the ball early in the game. The photo below was cropped to the top half to catch the pitcher&#8217;s toss. Here I caught another swing with some decent movement of the ball. I like this shot, but it ended up as a tiny shot on the front [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago, I shot a local summer softball playoff game. A pair of images from the shoot made it to the paper in Five down, two left in Carrboro Co-Rec. Above, high fives and congratulations end the night after Cliff&#8217;s Meat Market won 13-12 over the Chapel Hill Realty Group at Carrboro&#8217;s Hank Anderson Park. Cliff&#8221;s hard-fought wins over Milltown and CHRG on Thursday sends it into the final. Below, CHRG&#8217;s Dave Shaw jumps on a pitch Thursday night. The game had a late start shortly after 8PM. So the light was poor from the start and just got worse. As usual it took me some time to get into the zone, wasting valuable light. Before I knew it, I was shooting at ISO 1600 and a shutter spped slower than 1/160th of a second. This makes taking action shots tough. Too slow to catch action, too slow to stop camera shake. Fortunately, I learned a bit about Lightroom&#8217;s grain reduction controls, though these did little more than take the edge off. I ended up get more decent shots of the team in grey, Cliff&#8217;s Meat Market. Unfortunately, Cliff&#8217;s won, meaning they would move on to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks ago, I spent the evening shooting a youth baseball game for the paper. The story was highlighting a new regional league. Three images accompanied Players find H.E.C.C. of a success. From the article: Carrboro Recreation and Parks is taking that optimistic approach to its latest cooperative venture, the Hillsborough-East Chatham-Carrboro (H.E.C.C.) Baseball League, comprising 13-15-year-old players from two Hillsborough Youth Athletic League teams; three East Chatham baseball teams; and two Carrboro Recreation and Parks squads, the Red Sox and Braves. I sat behind home plate for a good while hoping to get this shot. I got the ball in this one, but the autofocus was not my friend. I learned a trick aftwerwards to deal with this and will post on it later. I spent too much time shooting batters and pitches, but managed to get a few action shots. Another action shot: I have a few other shots that I like. I will post these outtakes and discuss some of the challenges in a later post If you find this post useful or interesting, please consider buying me a cup of coffee.Related Posts:slideshow: HECC Baseballtim in print&#124; Summer Softball Championshiptim in print &#124; Summer Softball Playoffstim [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple of weeks ago, I covered the Carrboro Classic for the Chapel Hill News. I even had a couple of shots make it into the paper that Wednesday: tim in print &#124; Carrboro Classic. The Carrboro Classic is a duathlon, sort of a triathlon without the swimming. Starting bright and early on Sunday morning, races in multiple categories began on the track at a local middle school. There were three courses, depending on the category, that wound through the neighborhood. Here are some action outtakes. As I noted in yesterday&#8217;s outtake post with racing outtakes, though I brought my Strobist gear (off-camera flash with stand), it was a bright and fluid day. So I either went ambient light only or with a fill flash (the on camera sb-400). There were a few points where runners and bikers came through. I could have set up the flash there, but was not inspired to do so. In general, I am bappy with the results. I am not sure how to set up a flash far enough away to not interfere with the race and still get enough light to matter on a bright day outside. Rather than take achance on missing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another Carrboro Goose Originally uploaded by Oberazzi Last week, we had a snowstorm here and a day off. We took the pups to the dog park for romp in the snow and a walk around the pond. My camera came along as well. After trying to tire the dogs out in their piece of the park, we (really, my wife) took them around the pond. Seeing the pond full of geese, my camera came back out. If you find this post useful or interesting, please consider buying me a cup of coffee.Related Posts:TogetherOuchPedestrianHydrantGlass Bottles II]]></description>
