From about 5-5 on in the deciding match no team could get more than a point ahead.
12-12 score, games tied at 2 wins each
14-14 score, games tied at 2 wins each
Guy in an outhouse costume
If you want tons of people looking and smiling at you on Halloween, try the ol’ tried-and-true “dude stuck in the outhouse” costume on for size.

Are you sick of the fall foliage yet? Me neither. I took today’s photo earlier this week in the morning before the crowds gathered in Lithia Park to enjoy these trees in their splendor.

Homecoming events start today with the typical athletic events, dances, and, of course, what homecoming could be complete without a drag show?
Ashland had some nice weather on Thursday of last week so I headed over to the soccer field to watch the SOU ladies dominate the Trinity Lutheran University visiting team. After a generous crop and rotation I came up with the above image. However, I’m not sure if I like the “corrected” photo better than the original (below). What do you think?
BTW, this is Maddy Scott. My favorite part of the picture is when you make it larger by clicking on it you can see bits of airborne grass from the kick that have yet to settle.
Today’s photo sequence is from the first of those three wins. My Nikon D7000 can take up to 7 photos per second which allows this type of photography. With no big screen down on the field, taking a series of photos of the big plays and then watching them back on my camera was the best replay in the house.

Ashland sunset
Had some interesting clouds the other day so I decided to head over to the other side of the freeway with my camera, new ultra wide-angle lens, and tripod to see what kind of sunset would be offered up. It was a good one!
Southern Oregon University Women's Volleyball
I took this on 9/10/11. Next home game for the Lady Raiders is 9/23. I’m hoping the lens I have purchased since I took today’s photo (Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8D) will allow me to take a shot like this with less blur. I took this with settings of f/4.5 and 1/200 of a second (ISO 1600) with my 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 Nikkor lens in poor, indoor, gymnasium lighting. With my new lens I should be able to do something like f/2.8 and 1/320 with better results. Stay tuned.
Wildflowers on Wagner Butte hike
For today’s first photo I decided to have some fun with my new ultra wide-angle lens. At f/3.5 (the lowest f stop I can go with it), 10mm, and getting as close to the flower and still being able to focus as I can, the results are intriguing.

Butterfly lands on yellow wildflower
With lots of wildflowers come lots of butterflies. I’m digging the macro capabilities and nice bokeh with my new lens.
