Shooting Ducks

In a few hours I’ll be shooting the Oregon Ducks as they take on the Ohio State Buckeyes in Eugene today.

Ducks begin home games for 2014 baseball season tonight

The Oregon Ducks play their first game of the season in Eugene at 6 p.m. today. I’m getting the itch to head up the highway to catch a game or two. It’s been too long since I’ve last seen live baseball.
The first baseman in today’s photo, Danny Hayes of the OSU Beavers, was drafted by the Chicago White Sox. The pitcher, Andrew Moore, was only a freshman when I took this, and in addition to winning the Pac-12 Freshman Player of the Year Award, he was also named to the Baseball America All-America First Team.

Tonight (or this afternoon depending on where you live) the Ducks and Longhorns will be locking horns (or webbed feet or something) in a consolation prize for Oregon. It’s not what the Ducks were hoping for, but the season won’t be a complete loss with a bowl victory.
I’m not committed on an NCAA Division I college team to root for at this point, but Ryan has been accepted to the University of Oregon so I may end up becoming a Duck fan beginning next school year.

I suppose an animal with eyes on the sides of its head could view the University of Oregon’s three sporting venues (football, baseball, and soccer) all at once. Us humans need to photomerge six photos together to see them at the same time. This is a 180 degree view from the deck next to the Autzen Stadium Press Box at halftime this past Saturday.

I spent yesterday on the sidelines of the Ducks-Utes game in Eugene. The weather wasn’t too bad. In fact, it only rained during the pregame. It was mostly cloudy the rest of the time, but I can’t complain. A day game without rain is more than I expected.
I took nearly 900 photos and have only looked at about 50 at this point. I’ll post some more here soon.
Ducks vs. Utes
Oregon vs. Utah
Today’s image came from a download I did more than a week ago when I was thinking I was going to be heading up to Eugene this Saturday to see the Ducks continue their march to an undefeated season and a National Championship. However, Stanford got in the way of that plan last week. The bright side is that Saturday’s game is now going to be a day game (as the Stanford vs. USC game became the night game). I have a photo pass, will be on the sidelines, and won’t have to deal with the slower shutter speeds that would have come with a night game.
Hiking in Oregon
Skinner Butte Trail
Eugene, Oregon
I just got back from four days spent north of Ashland on or near I-5 (mostly in Tacoma, Seattle, and Portland). Today’s photo is from a trip earlier this year though.

Oregon Ducks Baseball Team gets knocked out of the 2013 College World Series
#24 Christian Jones of the Oregon Ducks
The University of Oregon did not do as well as Oregon State in the 2013 College World Series. Even though they had a #1 seed (and hence hosted the games in the Regionals), their 3-2 record was not better than Rice’s 3-1 so the #2 seeded Owls advanced, and the Ducks were eliminated last night. The Ducks finished the season with 48 wins, the most in their history.
