My Favorite Pictures from the University of Oregon Ducks Regular Season

I went through all the games I shot this year, including the Pac-12 Championship and found 79 images I thought stood out as either an important moment in the season, or a photo I like for being a little different and surprising.[gallery]

Civil War, 2010

This season is hard to believe. After beating Oregon State the Oregon Ducks are 12-0 and go the National Championship in Glendale, Arizona. Interestingly, what's good for the Ducks is good for me. On Thurs., I go to New York to cover LaMichael James at the Heisman trophy ceremony. Then, I'm off to Glendale to cover the Ducks from the time they arrive until the game is over...eight days total. Of course, I'll update this blog after that. Until then, here's a few of favorite images from the Civil War.

Oregon v. Washington, Nov. 26, 2010

Another game, another blowout. Here are some of my favorites from the day.

Oregon v. USC, Oct. 30, 2010 in Los Angeles, Calif.

Here are a few snaps from the game:

Oregon Ducks 72, New Mexico 0

I've never shot a blowout like this. It was easy livin' as a photographer. We didn't have to run down to the other end of the field one single time. It was sunny and and 75 degrees. They fed us tacos in the press booth. It just couldn't have been an easier day. Here's the game story: http://blog.oregonlive.com/behindducksbeat/2010/09/oregon_football_well_wasnt_tha.html

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the day:

Editing Oregon Football

I'm in the process of going through about 20,000 images from 12 games and several other assignments from the 2009 Oregon football season. Every now and then I'll find a photo I missed in the initial edit. I found this frame this morning from the Purdue game. I shot it with a 50mm wide open and it gave it nice look. It's not really an image I would have sent after the game, but it might work nicely in the context of a book.

The costume scene in Eugene

Ross Hamilton and I headed out to the Autzen Stadium parking lot and see some costumes. Ross captured audio and I shot still images. I went over 500 images back to the office and Joel Odem did the edit. Ross and I think he did a great job. We had a good laugh. We did this before the game and by the time we saw it about 11:00 p.m., it seemed like we did it three days ago. A lot of water passed under the bridge by the time we shot the pre-game, the game, post-game and edited and sent the images.
