Josh, I know what you mean about the strobes. I’ve been going to college and pro games for years, and never noticed them. Then Rod mentioned them a year or so ago in his blog, and now all I see when I go to the games are bright flashes going off. Thanks Rod…
Oh, and vertical.

Hi Rod,
I really miss seeing your stuff in the paper and on the Times’ web site but it was fun to watch you ref a Ballard HS basketball game a couple weeks ago! If you want to use your Olympic gymnastics skills, we’re hosting the KingCo league meet at Ballard on February 7th. (I bet you’re SO sad to miss HS gymnastics this year!) Follow the links on http://www.ballardathletics.org/ for a schedule. E-mail me to get free admission and check in with me at the coordinator desk so you can be on the floor if you decide to come. One of our parents is a Canon evangelist/rep whom you may recognize (he was shooting at that Ballard game). If he brings a 1Ds Mark III you can duke it out in the parking lot after school! (The best session for capturing skills is probably the 4th one.)

You know how something jumps out at you after it’s pointed out, and you can’t unsee it? Like the arrow in the Fedex logo (between the e and the x!) Well the arena strobes are definitely like that. Haha. I can’t watch basketball or hockey anymore without seeing the flashes since they were pointed out.
Great shots and I agree with the vertical pick.

Hi Rod–I’m a hobby photographer, and I’ve been following your stuff for about a year, now. You have some great work!
For the unwashed masses, what exactly are arena strobes? You bring them yourself and set them up?
Where do you put them? They must be pretty powerful?
Thanks for sharing all your experiences with us!

Bob –
Thanks for the advice. I am starting to think so, too.
Hope you are well!
