Here is the tentative schedule for this week of games we will be covering.

Monday April 21. Waunakee V/JV vs. Middleton V/JV

Wed April 23. Middleton V/JV vs. Verona

Thurs. April 24 Sun Prairie V/JV vs. Janesville V/JV

Our plan for the upcoming weeks is to start covering teams we haven't been able to get too yet. This will also include Girls Varsity and JV teams.

This upcoming weekend is also going to be the last weekend of the GLLL. We plan on covering this tournament also. After that is completed we will be able to start covering games on Saturday and Sunday for MALA.

So thats it for now and hope to see you soon at your games!

Wow, I was looking through your albums and your photos are awesome. Are you by chance going to be at the Marquette v. Middleton game at Middleton on May 3?

I don't know. It all depends upon different factors right now. We are setting schedules weekly as weather and where I will be and who we are shooting determines which games we are covering.

Middleton is one of the three teams we already have been talking directly with about covering multiple games.

But as the year goes on we are going to try and make sure to cover every team in the MALA area including girls.

So there is a good possibility we might be there.

Ross

Can we post url's to good shots like our top 5. I know a few good ones.

Why not. Im all up for getting more advertising out so people know where to go!



Besides they may change by the day as I am shooting nightly!

Ross

any idea on when the middleton waunakee pics will be up ?'

early today he said they should be up

Ok first things first.

All photos from games we have shot are up and current. Plus I have had acouple people go to our webpage and send us messages asking us for information.

Well for some reason I can't answer back through there. And after a pretty long search, I dont' even know if it's possible. So first off Im sorry If I haven't replied back to you, I will do what I can to figure that part out.

If you need to get ahold of us and have any questions here is a better way. You can do so at this email address: Crossczechphotos1@mac.com

Second, The games that we were going to cover tonight (Apr. 24) we won't be able to cover. My other company that I own (welding and machine shop) I need to get that work done before the weekend.

Believe me Im doing everything that I can to get out of it because taking the photographs are so much more rewarding.

Third. I will do my best to post schedules of what games we will cover during the week by Sunday nights.

From the responses we are getting we are trying to at least cover 2 games per team. That way I figure we should be able to get every player on each team.

Fourth. A great way for me to make sure you are shot (no not that way...) is to drop me a line of who you are, what team you are on and what number you wear. I have had several PM's here asking that I cover a specific player. We can very nicely accomodate that request, we just need to know who you are.

Last.

Within the next couple of weeks we should start having T-shirts, hats, jackets and such made up. This means that from now on when we are at a game you know who we are.

Ok thats about it for now. Thanks for looking at our stuff and feel free to contact us at any time.

hey "photoguy!" i saw on your schedule it said you were going to be at the Middleton/Verona Varsity game. Could you not make it out? or havn't you put the photos up.

he was there, for both games. I had a chance to say hey to him

Whoops I forgot to post that...

It was way, way to dark last night for me to come back with decent stuff for the varsity game.

I packed it in and went home and did some work and downed acouple Guiness's (Is that a word).

So I talked with the Verona coach and we are going to make the Sunday game vs. Memorial instead.

Just as long as the ref for the games ahead of you don't keep calling multiple unsportsman like conduct penalties and your JV game lasts 2+ hours!



Ross

okay, well is there anyway you could just post what you got from the Varsity game? because my Mom is trying to make a scrapbook and she wants all the pics of me she can get. I play for middleton, so the Verona vs. memorial game doesn't do much..

Well that means I haven't had the chance to shoot you yet.

I dont' have any photos for the varsity game from last night. I packed it in before the game even started.

I took some test shots during the JV game when they turned the lights on and I just couldn't get the speeds I needed to stop the action and get faces properly exposed.

Drop me an email and we can see what to do.

the number of penalties called was just ridiculous.

photo guy u planning on taking shots at the waunakee lafollette game monday?
that would be sweet, nothing better then some memories of the blow out likely to occur

Like I said before in one of the above posts I won't really post a schedule until Sunday night.

Alot of the scheduling right now is also because of field conditions. They are really wet out there!

Ross

Better pictures for wet games, muddy and what not.

Stand face down wind and grab a plastic bag and the biggest lens hood you have.

Already have an expensive $200 plastic bag from Aquatech to deal with weather conditions.

The funny thing is I have to set the camera up when shooting in bad weather because the focus gets thrown off by the drops of water or the snow flakes. The gear is that precise.
