Busy Day For OffWing Photographers

Saturday was a busy day for the OffWing photographers. Kate McGovern was covering the exciting the story of the Capitals getting into the playoffs by the hair of their chinnie (not sure of the spelling on this), chin chin. Don't get me wrong with that characterization, the Washington Caps have been playing great.

The Caps have completed an incredible comeback as the first team in the 30-team era of the NHL’s history to go from 14th or 15th place in their conference to a playoff spot. Kate posted a couple of other pictures that you can check out on OffWing.

At the same time Ellen Blanchard was at RFK covering the return of soccer season as the DC United took on Toronto FC. DC picked up a 4-0 win in front of the hometown, for more on the game you can check out Kris Herrell's coverage, Ellen also has more pictures from both the first half and the second half.

So what did this leave me? A day of spent inside a cold and dark hotel ballroom for a some continuing education. I along with about 30 other photographers participated in the Aperture Users Profressional Network's (AUPN) road tour of one-day intensive briefings on Apple's Pro photo application, Aperture, which is a great workflow tool for photographers.

With the Caps extending their season we are planning for an exciting spring and summer. OffWing and OffWing Photo will again be expanding our coverage of more sports and events.
