9 days to Daytona

A similar scene to today’s photo will happen not in 9 days but in a mere 5 days. If you’d like to help the team get to Daytona, or if you’d like to ride on the flight with them, see this article for details.

The SOU men’s basketball team continues their road games tonight against Simpson. This will be their fifth (of ten) consecutive road games. Today’s photo comes from their game against Simpson in Ashland earlier this month.
I sometimes have photographers (who have never been in the Riehm Arena) tell me how lucky I am to have such good lighting in a gym. HA! They have no idea how happy I will be to see the new gym lighting when McNeal Pavilion is torn down and the new facility is built. I have shot in many gyms and McNeal has the most difficult lighting. It is a yellow flicker. Most high schools have much better lighting.
Anyway, to give you an idea of how much I have to edit to come up with the photo you see above, check out how the original image started below.

The wait was worth it. However, I hope it won’t be another three years before Atriarch plays in Southern Oregon again.
Two post season home games, here we come
Raider Stadium football runout
@SOU_Football @SOURaiders
As mentioned previously, and as Hensley Ratings predicted, #4 Faulkner was beaten this past weekend. This means SOU will likely be the #4 team heading into their final game against Eastern Oregon. While a victory over Eastern will be no easy feat (Hensley rates them as #3 in the country even though the Midwest-biased coaches have them way back at #21), the Raiders have beaten them on the road already this year so Southern will be the clear favorite this Saturday at home.
If SOU wins they will have home field advantage for their first NAIA playoff game. Should they win that game, if the NAIA has any sense of fairness or justice, they may also have a home game in the quarterfinals given their likely rise to #4 on Monday, November 10.
Hang in there Raiders. Just five more wins to go until you are National Champions.

RAW vs jpg (#6 or 7 or something)
jpg image, straight out of the camera
I have mentioned several times before that there are situations where images shot as jpgs are “throw aways” that had they been shot in RAW format could be salvaged.
Today’s comparison is one such example. With a rainbow outside a dimly-lit gym, I had the choice of shooting the rainbow and getting a nearly black gym (above) or shooting the action on the court and getting a white sky (not shown). By shooting in RAW I was able to process the above image to come up with what you see below.

By the way, Ashland won last night, advanced to the Sweet 16 in state, and will be playing in St. Helens on Saturday. The winner moves on to the Elite 8 round.

Game time is 6:30. If Ashland wins they will hit the road on Saturday for a game against a top eight team to see who gets to go on to the State Championship in Hillsboro the following weekend.
