Volleyball Western Regionals - W NCAA

[KirkHMB]

All

I had the pleasure of attending all three games of the women's NCAA western regionals held at Stanford 12/7 & 8. I had decent seats, 1 row off the floor. A little too low, and behind the players and coaches, (dodging their heads), so less than ideal, but better than nothing. I was having trouble with the Servo Focusing keeping up with the ladies, so most of these are manually focused, and are not as crisp as I would like. I tried to focus on the net, then tweak closer or further depending on who I was trying to shoot. Tried using my focus magnifier for the Stanford v UCLA game, which seemed to help a little. Not enough faces, but they wouldn't stand still. All but one are cropped, then resized to fit, no other PP yet.


These are Stanford v Cal Poly SLO

Missing the Final Four tonight, but will be in Sacramento Saturday for the Championship, and supposed to be closer to the center, and slightly higher. My girls want to get autographs, so maybe I can convince them to take a few of these along for signature.

Most are really good, a couple are soft.

The girl in #3 has got some MAD hops!
