Slam Dunk Contest and All Star game
The LA Lightning struck again, when at the ALL STAR game the Lightning made up most of the team, and dominated the game against the East in a one sided game.
Hassan Stephens amazed with his hops, while the team in general worked like a well oiled machine. Follow the game from http://www.lalightning.net/webcast.htm with Rob Lemons, and Erik Evelhoch the two most professional announcers in this area.

Memorial Day
Photo taken by ©Michael Lopez_2012.
Hi guys, here is a photo I took today in memory of the fallen.
I wrote this poem in remembrance….
“On this hellish of holy weekends, waking up to aches and pains. I think back to all we have given, and much more taken away. I died inside that fateful day, seared into my soul men, colleagues, friends, that will never be forgotten. We weep those who have passed, yet they are the lucky ones, they do not carry our heaviness, regret, or pain. We stand alone, us weary warriors, saluting those true gladiators forever at attention waiting for the day we all meet, smile and laugh once again.
When we walk we will never be alone, as generations of warriors run through our veins. Us ordinary men, that in time of need, stood up humbly and said, please send me.
We united as one, all individuals, crawling, rolling, walking away.
Blood shed for one other, we would have it no other way!

Lightning Game 2
The reason why I shoot Manual Focus?
Hi guys, this is just a personal reference why I shoot with manual focus.
I shoot with a 1D Mark IV, and I love it. Recently I shot at a college baseball game, and took a Nikon D3s, which is an amazing camera. I usually shoot with the focus on the AF button so I don’t rely on the trigger finger. This time I was at 3rd base covering a runner on third, knowing a bunt was coming and I prefocused (unfortunately with autofocus) on home base on the catcher.
The hit came, and a high throw to the catcher was in route. I started my shooting with the Nikon D3s and the focus was on the trigger finger. The next series of shots are the reason I started shooting manually again, pre-focusing on the catcher and focusing with my fingers..
Is it the cameras fault? No, of course not. I didn’t know the equipment, and no I rely on my finger focusing more than pre-focus.
This is my personal preference, and you can by all means shoot with AF or not.
I am just sharing one of the reasons I shoot like this.
I look forward to shooting a lot more.
Be safe
Michael Lopez
