Re: Photos - FIRST Championship 2013

Dan - amazing photos as always!! And I'm seriously impressed that you managed to get through so many of the Michigan teams!!

After spending part of the event catching up with Dan & finally getting to meet the man behind the amazing photos, I'm so impressed at what he does for FiM!! Its exhausting & exhilarating to try and cover and capture the heart & soul of a region, and Dan does such a great job (with a great smile to match!). He's certainly been my inspiration to learn more and do better at my photos this year!! Now if only I can match his level of gear... seeing him haul around 3 cameras with various lenses made me so jealous!!

Anyways, if I can piggyback, my current "previews" are up in my Championships Album.

I had the amazing opportunity to get to go up on the catwalk and take about an hour's worth of photos from up there (I will get my videos & the rest of my photos up soon!) - a handful of them are already posted.

I tried to focus on the Northeast teams (but grabbed some "good" shots whenever I saw them), and have a ton more photos to post - but those are going to require a bit more editing time, so it may be another week or so before the album is updated.

It was really exhausting, and kinda overwhelming trying to come up with a strategy to get to the teams & volunteers we knew and be able to get around to see everyone (and have a little fun)... but after a few tips from Dan, I'm hoping next year is a tad easier!!
