I took today’s photos with my new Nikon D600 at the OIT game this past Tuesday evening. I didn’t expect the D600 to function that much better than my D7000 in these conditions but it did. The focusing was faster and more accurate. I was also able to shoot in the ISO 2000-3200 range instead of the 800-1600 range so my shutter speed was faster than normal. I’m really pleased with the results.

Southern Oregon University campus on a foggy morning

As I mentioned on my other blog, I picked up a new Nikon D600 last week. After a few test shots to see if there was any dust or oil on the sensor direct from the factory (there wasn’t), this was my very first pic with my new camera body. It was a foggy morning on the SOU campus when I took this picture.

The Southern Oregon University football team scored four touchdowns in the fourth quarter today against St. Ambrose (Iowa – ranked #8) for their first playoff win in a decade. Now they move on to the quarterfinals.

Today’s photo is from last week’s game. You know that scene on TV when the cameraman gets plowed into by the guy running out of bounds? That was almost me when I took this photo (which hasn’t been cropped). I was moving out of the way as I took this pic so as to avoid ending up underneath these two.

The nice thing about volleyball photography is you don’t have to change seats to change your view as the teams switch sides after each game.

Dankook University’s Traditional Korean Dance Performance at Southern Oregon University

This past Tuesday evening I had the privilege to witness SOU’s sister university in South Korea, Dankook University, put on a traditional Korean dance performance in the Music Recital Hall on the SOU campus. Apparently, they also did this show at Oregon State University (OSU) the day before or after.

The costumes and performance were so stunning that I’ll post some more images from this event in the future as well under this link.

I’m hoping to teach at DKU in Seoul next summer.

Cole McKenzie celebrates Manny Barragan’s touchdown for the SOU Raiders

The SOU Raiders football team finished their improbable regular season with yet another upset victory yesterday over Montana Tech. Picked to come in 5th place in Southern Oregon University’s initial season in the Frontier Conference, the Raiders did a little better than expected by coming in 1st place instead. Today the seeding for the NAIA playoffs happened, and the Raiders will be traveling to Iowa for the first round. Four more victories will be needed to win the National Championship.
