Seattle Sounders Season Opener

MLS action photos of Seattle Sounders vs Montreal Impact

Soccer is back already! It was hard to see the Sounders lose the season opener. They definitely had some good chances but things just never clicked for them in this game. The torches over the goal posts were a new thing. It will be interesting to see if that happens all year. Word is they were supposed to light up after every Sounders goal. That would be pretty badass to see that every time a goal is scored.

Sounders Win the Cup!

Here’s an unusually quick blog post. The Sounders won the US Open Cup Championship last night at Qwest Field. It was a great game, with Sanna Nyassi scoring both goals, giving the Sounders a 2-1 victory.

A few shots from a Sounders multimedia promo I’m working on. Everything is cropped for 16:9, 1080p, which is why everything looks a little wider than normal. These were taken at the game against the L.A. Galaxy a few weeks ago.

Seattle Sounders FC

Getting ready for the Barcelona game tonight, and am super excited. They were probably the best team in the world last season, and getting to see them from the field is pretty awesome. Here’s a few pictures from the last Sounders game I did vs. the Rapids.

I decided to play around and put my 5dII body  (slower, but much higher quality than my usual sports camera bodies) on the 400mm f2.8 lens. The results are pretty cool. If you look at the blurry areas of the picture where the crowd and confetti are lit up, it almost looks smeared or painted with a brush. But it’s not manipulated at all, just the natural way the light refracts through the lens, and because the 5dii body has such a big sensor the effect is magnified. The 2nd, 3rd, and 5th shots really show it.
