"Denver midfielder Kelli Breidenbach (right) fouls St. Mary defender Caroline Shevlin (4) in the second half of the Pioneer's 2-1 victory during the DU Invitational at the University of Denver Soccer Stadium in Denver, Friday, Aug. 28, 2009. Goals by Pioneer freshman Katy Van Leishout and Kalie Vaughn secured the win in the first ever game played at the new stadium."
I was rusty tonight, clearly.
I haven't shot any sports since finishing my internship at the Northwest Herald roughly nine weeks ago and it was noticeable this evening at the new University of Denver Soccer Stadium. My Alma mater battled the St. Mary's Gaels in the second game of the DU Invitational and were victorious.
I on the other hand, wasn't so lucky. The images just didn't seem to come tonight. It probably didn't help that I was on the other end of the field when Denver scored its two goals either. I even ventured up to the top of the Peter Barton Lacrosse Stadium to get a different angle and cleaner background but the influx of mediocre images never changed. The image above is very vanilla, in my opinion. It's publishable but doesn't really tell the story.
I wasn't shooting for a client tonight so there really wasn't any pressure but I always want to produce better images than the previous time I shot. I'm always looking to get better. Tonight just wasn't my night.
I have an assignment for the University of Denver Magazine on Saturday and I'm shooting youth football on Sunday in Castle Rock so there will be plenty of opportunities to redeem myself over the course of the weekend. Check back on Monday morning to see how I did.
