As I mentioned, I shot my first college game of the year last Saturday night. While my team didn’t win (lost, 23-30), they didn’t look terrible – in fact, their #1 running back was named the national back of the week after he rushed for 140+ yards and scored three touchdowns.
More importantly, I got quite a few good shots. Not world-class or anything, but I was pretty pleased given that it was the first game. I posted 50 (out of 800) on Facebook, and I’ll keep about 45 of them for the sales site.
Spent Saturday and Sunday night at Little Pee Dee State Park in Dillon, SC. What a strange place. The campground was normal enough – a mix of RV and tent sites – but there were about 50 golf carts there. I don’t believe I’ve ever been camping and seen a single golf cart driving around in the woods, let alone 50 of the stupid things. Maybe it’s a new trend, or maybe it’s just that park.
Much of the day yesterday was spent walking around on the nature trails or exploring the shores of Lake Norris in the park. I took quite a few shots of dragonflies and egrets, and I really like one of the latter (posted below). I’ve entered it in a contest on Facebook and may enter it in a few others after I’ve cleaned it up a bit.
Work up quite early today in the tent – it was still dark – and had a leisurely breakfast of coffee and oatmeal before breaking camp and making the 5.5-hour drive home. Spent this afternoon going through my pictures and I’m currently watching a game on television.
Back to work tomorrow….and next Saturday, I’m driving BACK to the SC coast for another game. Lots of miles on the car in the first two weeks of the season.
