House Fire on Deegan Road and a Bus Hits a Car

April 21 A-1

I drove to a car fire this week.  Normally I only go to fire if I can walk or ride my bike to it.  If it's that close I can get there at the same time as the fire fighters and maybe get some pictures of flames.  Also if I walk or bike I'm only out some of my time if my pictures don't sell.

The scanner said this was a "fully involved structure fire", so I drove to it.

A Firefighter suffered from the heat and he went down fast.  The fire chief yelled at me for taking pictures but later he apologized.

Baseball, Tennis and Softball

It was 86 degrees, I thought there would be vendors selling drinks, but no.  The tennis coach gave me a cold bottle of water when another photographer asked for it for me.

I had both rigs but only used the 70-200 for 99% of the shots.  I'll leave the wide angle rig at home the next time I shoot any of these sports.

I stood in the dugout for baseball pictures and in the court for some of the tennis.  For softball I mostly shot over the fence on the third base line, the other fence was too high and the dugouts were behind a fence.

Since I was working for Olympic League I did not need to write cut lines or hunt down the rosters.
