Oooh, cool overhead shot! Did they let you up on the catwalk? Or did you anchor a camera up there? Nice photos.

I used the catwalk. I almost never go up there, because it's hot (all the lights) and it's dusty, but since we play this team a lot, I figured it wouldn't hurt to take a few different kinds of shots.

I hadn't looked at the whole set, nice overheads and I like the fisheye too. Is that another photog in the press box or did someone take your picture? I haven't ventured onto a catwalk, have been able to do some not directly overhead but almost, from a high concourse. You do some nice work.

That was a friend of mine up in the press area. He'd photographed the first couple of periods like I did, but then in the third he goes up there to start editing photos, getting captions and tags in the metadata, so he can send a few photos to the league and sometimes one of the newspapers.

You'd think the press box would be interesting but once the novelty wears off I've found it can get pretty boring... LOL Interesting to see who's scouting the game sometimes though.
