    Community College Volleyball Home Opener

    FDLTCC (Cloquet, MN) Thunder took on Gogebic CC (Ironwood MI) for their 2nd season home opener.. so it meant back to the worst white balance gym in Minnesota (that I know of).. not because of lighting, but because of orange uniforms and orange wall pads, and off-white walls...

    The walls especially suck and I tried some different things with levels in some.. trying to figure out what I like best and will use for the season and basketball season. Also tried some tighter crops than I have in other volleyball to take out more of the wall.

    2. It didn't come into play but the hoop on the side wouldn't go up I guess. She misjudged the serve coming in


    3. Libero running down a ball


    4. Funny shot, to me anyway.. someone's not paying attention it seems


    5. Another one I kept for expression.. of the teammate


    Maybe not the best volleyball I've posted, but it takes a game or two in that gym to get used to it every time.

    Great action, but the WB is bothering me on these, seems a little off. I hate shooting in some of these high school gyms the lighting and colors can give you fits.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    The gym is a nightmare as far as WB goes... I'm going to either get a grey card (nope, don't already have one) or just bring a white piece of paper and shoot it off the floor and see if I an get something better from a custom on Wednesday.. if they'd painted the walls white it might be better too

    I agree with OT, these are some nice captures, but that WB is bad (warm). Take a look at wbal.com for a nice portable gray card.

    Turns out wbal.com is a Baltimore radio station?

    So what's Buy WOW Goldahead? Crossing my fingers that some of this won't happen, but: We will not WOW Goldbe competitive raid healers, at least
    RS Goldnot immediately. This has less to do with us than with the content I expect Blizzard's programming for early Cataclysm raids. The developers can't put a Blood Queen Lana'thel or Twin Valks Buy WOW Golddoppelganger in tier 11 without causing healers to reroll en masse; we just don't have the efficiency to deal with widespread, constant raid damage anymore. By necessity, the nature of RuneScape Goldraid damage has to change, and I doubt it will change in a way that will benefit HOTS.
