Open Practice, 21 October 2011

Photo Seminar Before First Game!

If you have ever tried to take pictures inside Maples, even just for your own use, you'll want to come a little early to the first exhibition game, Wednesday November 2. At 5:45 in Kissick auditorium we'll have a presentation by a pro sports photographer on how to take good pictures from your seat. See our previous post for details.

Meanwhile, some pics were taken at the open practice last week! If you are new to this blog, remember, we only post a few pictures here as teasers. Click through to each photographer's gallery page for more, more, more!

Action photo seminar to start new season!

Stanford Women's basketball starts Wednesday night, November 2nd, bringing us a new season and new faces to capture. To start us off we are privileged to present Kelley L. Cox with a seminar on Shooting From the Seats—Taking action photos with the camera you have from the seat you get.

Kelley L. Cox is a professional sports photographer (click through to learn all about her). She shoots professional and amateur sports all around the Bay Area, but has a special fondness for women's basketball in general and Stanford in particular. You might remember this shot of hers from last December:

Kelley will be presenting in Kissick Auditorium starting at 5:45 on Wednesday 11/2. We will wrap up in plenty of time for the 7pm game. Bring your camera and your questions!
