United Fall To CD Gaudalajara In SuperLiga
Here are a few shots from DC United's losing effort against CD Guadalajara. We will be posting up more a little later today.
RFK stadium lost power in half the stadium last night during play. The outage delayed play while the lights had to reset themselves and come back on. This provided an opportunity for some photos that would typically have to be staged or "Photoshopped."

DC United vs. Chicago Fire (0-1), After The First Period
It has stayed dry so far despite threats of Thunderstorms, so far the only thing dampening spirits is the single goal by Chicago Fire late in the first period.

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.
Alexander Semin celebrates his third period goal with Ovechkin and Green. The goal sealed the win for the Capitals at 3-1.

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.

DC United Explode Beating Toronto FC, 4-1
For the first 40 minutes of play there wasn't much to cheer about as Toronto FC led 1-0. That all changed after Marc Burch (4) scored his first major league goal to tie the game. The others that scored were Fred, Jaime Moreno, Luciano Emilio. The win keeps the United four points ahead in their play-off chase.
Today's game was a night game so I was struggling as many of you do with the delicate dance between ISO, shutter speed, and aperature. I shoot primarily with a Nikon D200 and have recently been playing around with the auto ISO and noise reduction settings in camera after a suggestion of a friend that shoots a lot of low-light stuff.
I had used the auto ISO settings a while back in my D70 but it just wasn't satisfactory. The D200 however handles higher ISO settings so much better.

I was bummed when this bicycle kick just sailed inches above the goal.

The crowd was rocking, as usual, espcially the la Barra Brava a highly organized fan club of the DC United. I really like the following shot. One of my favorite things to shoot is filterd light, in this shot you have the stadium lights streaming through the waving flag.
