I was busy last weekend – I had a senior session on Friday and then on Saturday I got to shoot the University of Michigan’s volleyball team’s scrimmage and season opening picnic (I was excused before the alumni gathering really got crazy…).
The scrimmage was so fun – I had to keep remembering that I was supposed to be taking pictures and not just watching. I wasn’t a big volleyball fan when I was in school (it used to hurt my wrists too much when I did try to play), but man-oh-man is it exciting to watch! It’s pretty fast-paced since there isn’t a lot of standing around waiting for something to happen…and there usually aren’t a bunch of TV timeouts :-)
I am still working on the gallery but wanted to share this one image from the scrimmage. I was on the floor for about five minutes trying to get the ball to sit just right and have the right activity in the background; apparently one of the fans was worried about me because I wasn’t really moving!
So – if you are in the area – be sure to check out Mark & Leisa and the Michigan Volleyball team this fall. GO BLUE!
