a week till varsity starts: rugby photos from last semester

In a weeks time varsity starts again so I’ll be heading out with my camera for “die Kampus Burger”. Over the past few months (last semester) I was freelancing for “die Kampus Burger” covering mostly rugby but here and there some other events as well. This post covers mainly some of the sport I covered and some photos I haven’t post yet. These were all shot with my 350d. I am really looking forward to getting out there with my 7d.

Thank you to the die hard’s who continuously visit my blog, and a thank you to the new visitors as well! You can find my contact information under the contact tab on the top of this page or look me up on facebook. Hope you enjoy the photos!

Jool-RAG-2010-vensters-Stellenbosch

Jool/RAG was crazy this year. This was my first time taking photos here. Trollies went quite well but vensters.. the light conditions made it a real challenge. You just have to adapt and figure out what will work and I can say Im happy with the result. (see pictures below). Tommorow (23 Jan ’10) its time for vlotte and if vensters was anything to go by there will be thousands of people there as well. Dont forget about ATKV Maties Jool Fees/RAG Fest 2010 happening at die Braak with the following bands:

10h00 – Autumn of August
11h00 – 3rd World Spectator
12h00 – Seisoen Na Somer
13h00 – Dear Client
14h00 – Glaskas
15h00 – Louwtjie Rothman
16h00 – eF-eL
17h00 – Van Coke Kartel
18h00 – Die Heuwels Fantasties
19h00 – Taxi Violence
20h00 – Straatligkinders

I’m fortunate enough to be able to go and see and photograph Fokofpolisiekar at the Kirstenbosch summer concert on Sunday, something which makes up for missing tomorrow. Remember to get back here and have a look at those photos!
