Walchuk Photos

This was the second game of the night for me. My day was already 17 hours long and the Aleve was wearing off so i only shot two periods. Got a few good ones, but I’ll get a chance to shoot both of these teams again Saturday. I’m planning on shooting three games Saturday starting at 2pm. See you there. If anyone would like a copy of any of these shots please contact me via email. Thanks for looking.

What is the ultimate sin of a sports photographer you ask? Getting caught up in the action and completely forgetting you have a camera. This happened at least once in this game. Alabama was putting on the pressure in the Tennessee end and a juicy rebound was just laying in front of the crease. The Tennessee goalie made a couple of point-blank saves and i thought, Wow! what a save! Hey look! I had a camera! I could have taken a picture of that!  Jeez. I’ve been asked several times to help with off-ice officiating but I always turn it down because i know i would just blow at it. I get wrapped up in the game. This was a fun one to watch, big crowd, pep band, lot’s of action. Alabama wins 6-3 and moves on in the playoffs. If anyone would like a copy of any of  these shots please contact me via email. Thanks for looking.

These are some photos i took a few years ago at the Birmingham Zoo. It was Big Snake Day, sometime in June. They bring out the big boys and weigh and measure them and compare that to the previous year so they know how they are doing. It’s a fun time if you’re a snake lover. These were shot with my D70 so the indoor ones are a little grainy. Wish i could do it again with my D300. I’m assuming they still have that, I’ll check next summer.
