New season, same Ultimate Mondays. What I would only presume to be the 'summer' season kicked off for the Quick Dumpers this past Monday. They've stepped down into the Recreational Division, which theoretically would mean there will probably be fewer outright blowouts and more intense games. If Monday's game was any indication, we're off to a good start. Above is Wesley Leung (pictured a couple days back during the Ekklesia games) who subbbed in for the team, attempting to block a pass.
For the most part, the game seesawed back and forth between both teams. The Quick Dumpers seemed to get off to a slow start, trailing by one point at the half, but managed to turn up their game in the second half, taking the lead and running away with it, eventually securing a well-deserved first win of the new season.
Photography-wise, I continue to be blown away by the power of the D90 as a stills camera. I had previously stayed away from shooting at ISO 2500, but in a pinch, it seemed to work out for these photos. There's still evidence of noise, but that's been minimized by nailing the proper exposure. Though the team won't be returning to Cherry Beach for a couple of weeks, hopefully the next time we're there, I'll crank it to 3200 just to see what I can get away with. Next week we'll be heading to Sunnybrook, which means there won't be much of a need for high ISOs, as much as bug repellant. Erk!
