Fresno State at Stanford, 9 November 2012

Scott Uyeno

Scott posts 52 shots to a flickr set. A number of his first-half shots from the south end show how tough the Bulldog defense was, as here:

(Yes, that's a foul, but the refs blew very few whistles in this game.) But in the second half he gets a look at Stanford defense:

Michael Li

Michael posts 20 shots from what looks like a new vantage for him, the SW corner, in a flicker set, including this of Toni finishing one of her two breakaways:

Baranduin Briggs

Baranduin posts 72 shots to a smugmug gallery many telling what a scrappy, physical game this was, with bodies flying all over the place:

Click through for more toppling athletes, Lou Seal, and (#56) a moment of "pure Chiney" and (#66) Denia's personal fan club bares all.

Vanguard at Stanford, 3 Nov 2012

Not a lot of pics exposed at this game.

Baranduin Briggs

Baranduin posts 52 shots to a smugmug gallery with lots of action from the South end including this selection of first-half blocks:

And this nice shot of Denia working a held-ball call:

Dave Cortesi

We put a handful of shots in our smugmug gallery. Unable to find A.P. or other press photos, Marian used most of the best ones in her game story but not this of Sara shooting a three:

Corban at Stanford, 1 Nov 2012

Photographers turned out even for the first exhibition game.

Baranduin Briggs

Baranduin says she's still fiddling with white balance and focus, but posted 50 shots to a smugmug gallery including this of Sara James in mid-drive:

Scott Uyeno

Scott shot as in the past from the North end and posted 38 pictures to his flickr set including this one of freshman Tess Picknell going for a block:

Dave Cortesi

We took advantage of the small crowd of an exhibition game to shoot from the floor seats, and posted a handful of shots to a smugmug gallery including Bonnie shooting one of her seven(!) treys.

And... We're Back!

Meet the Team

Click on this picture for a 2000-pixel-wide view of the whole team on the floor at the Red and White Scrimmage Friday night:

There were several people carrying serious-looking lenses at this event. Here are pics from two of them.

Baranduin Briggs

Baranduin posts 44 shots to a nice, fresh, newly initialized smugmug gallery with great shots of Betty Ann Boeving, of Roz G-O goofing with the coaches, of the dunk contest, but mostly of the players, like this one of Toni feeding Sara during the three-point contest:

and this of Chiney high-fiving the crowd:

Do click through to her gallery for the rest. Remember, we only tease you here. The good stuff is on our contributors' sites!

Dave Cortesi

Yr. Obt. Editor's shutter finger is definitely out of shape after a summer off. Out of 84 exposures we found eight that were, at least, in focus, and uploaded them to a smugmug gallery. Probably the best one being a nice head shot of Tess Picknell:

Synchronicity

Surprisingly often our shooters hit the button almost simultaneously. Here side by side are shots by moi and by Baranduin, of Denia trying to guard a Tinkle 3-point shot.

Couldn't have snapped more than 5 milliseconds apart! But, clearly I have to fiddle with my special Maples Pavilion white balance setting; my floor looks green by comparison to Baranduin's. Hey, it's all part of tuning up for the season, right?
