AFL poaching NBL players? There’s a first!

Last week I was commissioned by Adelaide’s Sunday Mail to photograph 36er small forward Nathan Herbert who was in town for their NBL clash with the Crocodiles.  Only had 20 mins to do the shoot but managed to get a nice set of pics and considering it was such a beautiful day in Townsville I was compelled to shoot it outdoors and show off our great weather!

Nathan has fielded an offer from an AFL club who appear to be making the most of the unstable National Basketball League and snapping up freakishly tall & fit athletes.  Who can blame them?

Anyway, like most of the NBL players Nathan was absolutely superb to work with.  Thanks heaps Nathan!  I’ve added a gallery below to show you what sort of pics I supply to a paper from a job like this.

It’s Rabbit stew for the Cowboys!

Shot the NRL match between the North Queensland Cowboys and the Russell Crowe owned South Sydney Rabbitohs last night.  What a spanking!  The Cowboys ended up 46-12 winners with the backline showing that they are a real force to be reckoned with!  Both centre/wing combos of Willie Tonga & Ty Williams and Ashley Graham & John Williams looked last night to be as good or better than most in the competition.  All the Cowboys need now is Webb and Kaufusi to perform at 100% and we will have a virtually unbeatable team.  Anyway, that’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it :-)

Here’s a few of my pics from the game and some clippings.

Back pages & spreads of my pics from Cowboys v Titans

Had a nice run in the papers with my pics from the North Queensland Cowboys v Gold Coast Titans. Very crappy game and shitty shooting weather (rainy) but managed to come up with some nice pics to please the editors. For the keen snappers out there – most of my pics were shot on EOS1DMkIII with 400 AF-IS f2.8L at 1/800 f2.8 on 2000iso.
