We had fabulous seats, right behind the bench—thank you Janet!— and put some pictures in our Smugmug gallery including this of Tara lecturing:
Tara's demeanor was impressive; at every time-out she was clearly teaching or explaining, emphatically but not angrily.
Jim Davis was there and may come up with a few shots from higher up, check back in a day or so.
Pro photog Kelley, after giving the fan photogs advice before the game, came to the UCSD game and took a few shots that she's posted to her blog. Besides several polished shots like the one of Chiney Ogwumike, below, her collection also includes pictures of every fan photographer she could see from the floor! Did she find you?

Scott posts 19 pics to his flickr photoset including good action shots of Joslyn, Sara, Sarah, Lindy, and this of Nneka and Amber on defense:
Baranduin posts 31 shots to her Smugmug gallery, with action shots of Sara, Joslyn (great rebound grab), Amber, and Alex, but the one that caught our eye was this:
Check back later for more pictures.
Michael sensibly didn't sit up late and send his pics along at midnight, waiting for the next day to post ten pics to his flickr set including the tip-off, Toni shooting a free-throw, and this of fresher Jasmine Camp skirting the sideline:
Welcome first-time contributor Lindy! Who dropped 9 pics shot from a floor-level seat, it appears, into a flickr photostream. The set includes shots of Jasmine Camp, of a sweeper wearing a PAC-12 shirt, and this one of frosh Taylor Greenfield on defense:
Scott posted 16 shots to his Flickr set, including good action shots of Sarah Boothe, Joslyn Tinkle, and this one of fresher Erica Payne on defense:
At Kelley Cox's pregame photo seminar we learned about how your camera can unfortunately pick the wrong subject for autofocus, and this is an example: Erica's juuuuust a bit soft and the UCSD player is sharp—but it's a good shot anyway.
Baranduin posted to Smugmug, including team interactions, action shots of the Ogwumike sisters doing their usual incredible things, and this of fresher Amber Orrange driving:
We uploaded 7 shots to a Smugmug gallery, with pics of Boothe and James on defense, some fans, and this one of Erica Payne waiting for play to resume:
About 20 people turned up for Kelley Cox's very interesting talk, so maybe we'll get pictures from more lenses soon. If so we'll do a new blog post for this game.
