Zombies and Red-Eye Photography (San Antonio Brandeis vs O'Connor Varsity Football)

Red-eye is an on-going issue for anyone that photographs people with flash, as the eye can easily reflect back the light, giving it a red tone due to all the blood vessels in the eye.

That said, sometimes I really want to leave it there, particularly with the popularity of the zombie theme with so many high school dance and band routines this year.

More zombies may be found at Ralph Mawyer Photography.

San Antonio Brandeis vs O'Connor Varsity Football

Oh My, what a game..,,,

Brandeis up 9-7, holds O'Connor with maybe three minutes to go.  Drives to mid-field and fumbles the ball. O'Connor recovers and drives within field goal range with something like 10 sec. on the clock...AND Scores.  Short, high kick to Brandeis who returns it pass mid-field.  Time has runout and O'Connor was celebrating a 10-9 win, but apparently O'Connor entered the field before time was fully out, resulting in a penalty that gave Brandeis a point-blank shot at a field goal with no time on the clock.  The make it and win 12-10.

Boerne High School Week...

Wow, busy week...

Boerne JV and Varsity volleyball on Tuesday and varsity football Friday.  Lots of shooting, lots of editing and pretty neat seeing players I've shot for the past two-three years moving into their last year in high school sports...and spotting all the new talent that has matured as Juniors this year.

Check it all out on my website: Ralph Mawyer Photography.com (aka BoerneSportsPhotos.com)

Fall Sports are underway! Boerne-Champion vs San Antonio Churchill Volleyball Leads Off

Nothing like a volleyball game to remind a shooter how rusty he or she can get not doing any action sports over the summer.

Boerne-Champion Varsity and JV teams helped me sort things out my first week back with the high schools, but I'm guessing they were working a lot harder than I was.

Boerne ISD Invitational Baseball Tournament

The Boerne ISD Invitational Baseball Tournament began Thursday and runs through Saturday. I had a chance to shoot three games at Boerne High School today and plan on a couple at Champion tomorrow. Clouds were nice, but could have done without the mist/drizzle...though the teams seemed to take it in stride with some great hitting and.

Downtime...

Wow, it's been a while...

Managed to make time for whales and surfers and queuing up for a bit of baseball and possibly lacrosse.  If you have someone playing you would like coverage of, please drop me a note with their team, number and position and I'll see what I can do.
