Lady Dogs: 10-0

I've shot the No. 9 Georgia Lady Bulldogs a couple times in the last month and today saw them continue their winning streak against the No. 19 Virginia Cavaliers taking their record to 10-0. I thoroughly enjoy shooting this scrappy team. Today I even ventured under the net to shoot most of the second half to get some different looking shots. Typically my favorite basketball shooting spot is the far corner of the hardwoods. Not only is this a good distance for my 70-200mm and clear of the glaring lights, but is also a little safer. When I sit under the basket some plays come way to close for comfort and several stray basketballs come flying. Last season I had Georgia senior Ashley Houts land on top of me. Good thing she is the smallest on the team.

Here are a few shots from their wins over Georgia Tech and Virginia.
