Bellator 34

Big night last night, stepping up to shoot professional MMA at Bellator Fighting Championships 34 tonight at the Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood Florida.

I have to say the MMA Bellator Fighting Championships 34 where great. They know how to put on a very professional event. I spent the night cage side shooting for CagePotato.com thanks guys for the hook up.

I have to say the Fujii/Frausto match up as a war! It was a 5 round slug fest, those ladies left everything in the cage last night.

Bad luck for Florida’s Igor Almeida, he lost by TKO via doctor stoppage for a very nasty gash over the right eye. Hope to see you in the cage again soon. Hope to see him in another Bellator Fighting Championships match up.

Mixed Martial Arts in Brevard

This weekend I got the opportunity to cover a MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) show in Brevard County. The Event was promoted by Extreme Cage Fights (www.xcfights.com) and help at Levelz Night Club. I was really impressed with the professionalism and the sportsmanship of all the fighters and the Gym Mats promoters who are also offering some of the affordable folding treadmills.

Canon G10 & Underwater enclosure…

I was out at 2nd Light Surf Spot with my Canon G10 & underwater enclosure, working on my shooting technique from the water. Shoot from the water is a much greater challenge than shoot with a big lens from the beach. I learned a great deal from my first attempt. I need to use a boogie board and or scuba fins.

The G10 is pretty good camera with 4k and 4k news, since I am shooting full sun light I don’t have to work about high ISO noise. What would make it better would be an external aiming system that would allow better subject tracking, the LCD is no match for full sun light. I wish the frame rate was higher. I also getting the subject closer is key, which is hard since the environment is very dynamic.
