Now that the spring semester is in full swing, so is Basketball here at FSU. Although football was a blast to be able to cover (including some NFL Games this season and the Gator Bowl <-- photos on my website) basketball surely holds its own as well. I recently picked up a new lens for my camera - a 17-55 2.8 Nikon lens. I was able to get a good deal on it so I snatched it up quickly. It allows me to go a little wider than the 35-70 2.8 lens which is what I was using previously for basketball and allows me to bring an interesting new look to my basketball photos, instead of the same looking photos from every game.
I'm working on experimenting with my new lens, especially at the 17mm mark to show basketball a little differently than I have in the past. It also produces extremely sharp images, so I can always crop in a bit if 55mm isn't enough on the long end.
Hopefully I can keep improving, but so far, I'm loving my new lens and pretty happy with the results it has produced.

I have also completely re-done my website. I think the new look is a lot cleaner and more professional. If any one has any suggestions to make it easier to navigate or find photos, I would really appreciate to hear them! I will make sure to update this a lot more often now with assignments that I shoot.
Adieu!
