Buena Vista University HDR Athlete Composites | BVU Sports

Buena Vista University football baseball wrestling

Tanner put together these seriously awesome composites of Buena Vista University athletes over the last few weeks. His goal was to portray them larger than life and attract a feeling of pride, especially in BVU conveyed by the photos.

The athletes pics were all taken with three alien bee strobes to create an image that was gritty and high contrast in a separate location. The backgrounds are all HDR (high dynamic range) composites.

All shot with a Canon 5D MK II, 16-35L II, 70-200 f/2.8L

Seriously how cool are these!

NBA Development League: Iowa Energy v Reno

A few months ago Tanner and I had the pleasure of shooting the local NBA Development League team here in Des Moines, the Iowa Energy. We have shot plenty of high school and college basketball through the years but shooting for the NBA D League is a whole new game. Holy cow those boys move!

Tanner and I behind the scenes before the game started via the iPhone:

And now onto the action!

The below are shot with the Canon 5D MK II x2, Canon 7D, 135L, 70-200 f/2.8, 100L, 85L II, 15mm f/2.8 fisheye & 14mm f/2.8.

2012 Iowa High School State 1A and 2A Wrestling Photos | ZTS Photo

Thursday night I had the pleasure of shooting some of the 2A and most of the 1A Iowa High School State Wrestling Tournament at the Wells Fargo Arena a few blocks from my loft. Holy cow is it one super fast paced tournament!

Super pleased with the results. Sports are such a different ballgame to shoot than the normal wedding or engagement sesion and being right in the action was pure awesome. Next year promise we will end up being there all weekend to shoot, I really enjoyed it!

Feel free to go browse around the 200+ photos I took from the night on our print site located here as well:
