sucks you can't go. I'm sure that would have been a great game. I wish my team would have won a game. all they needed was one win to go to the playoffs and they lost 6 straight. but I had fun photographing the vball games. btw, went through ur paper's site, nice photos. what are you using to capture all those shots? oh and good luck with finals, i will be done tomorrow as soon as I finish my last two finals.

Which school in AZ do you go to?

Daily Bruin uses Nikon gear. I use since this school year has started,

Canon 1DMKII
Canon 30D
16-35 2.8
50 1.4
70-200 2.8IS
Sigma 120-300 2.8
550ex speedlite

you can look up my photos on there if you go to text serach and just put Greg in there.

I asked two of my professors to be flexible with my schedule and once I knew I had to their okays, i considered my situation. During that time, I still read/did my studying.

After considering all options, i knew everything would have to fit perfectly for me to achieve my goal. If I was prepared for one of those finals, then I probably would have gone.

I aired on the side of caution, i guess.

Congrats.. glad everything worked out in the end.. :)

It's nice to have profs who care enough to help in these situations.

I go to Northern Arizona University (NAU) but I am a big ASU fan and UofA basketball fan. Wish I could get my hands on a 1DmkII. would be fun but it's so expensive cause I just payed to get my car fixed. And I only looked up ur photos. I really like what ur getting at these sporting events. I need a camera with 5fps or more. 3 just is a little too slow for me. I miss all the action when I try and use it :-P

To give you some hope. even with my 1dMKII, i shoot volleyball at 3fps too. I switch around, depending on where I'm at on the court.

Just out of idle curiousity, how much better for volleyball do you find the 1D vs. the 30D?

Also, your final is a paper? I'm not sure I have a lot of sympathy :mad: Whoever thought it would be a good idea to have a capstone paper and a 5 1/2 hour final is insane, and is my english professor :( .

As of now, i'm 2/3 for finals. I have one last one that has to be finished by 4p on Friday.

Well i tend to favor the 1D on the volleyball due to the AF. Not really the FPS. I shoot single, 3fps, 5fps, sometimes 8. I like to play sometimes.

A lot also depends where i situate myself on the court or in the stands. The 1.3 crop factor does hurt when i go high into stands with the Sigma 120-300. I sometimes use the 30D out there.

You don't have to have sympathy for me. Don't worry.

Guess we both lost out... :(

So, is it "Go Stanford" -- win it for the Pac-10?

I didn't really get to watch since i was reading. Paper is due at 4 pm tomorrow. :rolleyes:

It was going well. They had one set up. I was excited. Then i saw they drop the next two. :(

I think Nebraska with home court advantage will win. I knew that would be scary.
