Another 5-column shot
Decided to dig up a money shot from the archives.
OSU vs. Kansas basketball game at Lawrence - a really big deal. The lighting at Allen Fieldhouse is the absolute worst I've ever worked in. We're talking elementary-school gym quality here. So anyway, I was shooting at like 1/250th 2.8 at 1600 ISO and just barely getting exposure anywhere near acceptable.
All game long, I knew the money shot would come from post-game celebration/devastation. During the last few minutes or so I switch to my wide angle and get ready for action. KU holds on to win and the place goes nuts. I sprint onto the court, knowing the best shot will be from the KU bench - across the court from where I am.
So after I get over there, I see a KU player going nuts.
It's a media clusterfuck, naturally, so I hold my camera up over my head and PRAY that my autofocus tracks on the right spot.
My prayers were answered and we got the 5-column front page photo.
