A Visual Comparison

This weekend the photo staff covered a number of sporting events. I photographed two of them. As I was editing my pictures from the Winstar Casino Invitational PBR tour stop, I kept thinking back to photos from the Perfect 10 Challenge gymnastics event that I covered the night before. Below are some of the similarities I noticed between gymnastics and bull riding.

Left, Oklahoma's Sara Stone competes on the beam during the Perfect 10 Challenge. Right, Justin Koon flies off Sam during the Winstar World Casino Invitational PBR tour

Left, Oklahoma's Madison Mooring puts chalk on her feet before competing on the beam during the Perfect 10 Challenge. Right, Flames pour out of a prop bull's head during the introductions of the Winstar World Casino Invitational PBR tour.

Left, Oklahoma's Rebecca Clark competes on the vault during the Perfect 10 Challenge. Right, Austin Meier flies off Mulligan Man during the Winstar World Casino Invitational PBR tour.

Competitors stand during the national anthem before the Winstar World Casino Invitational PBR tour and the Perfect 10 Challenge.

During the celebration after yesterday’s Bedlam football game, Bryan Terry took a different angle from the rest of our team and photographed from the roof of Boone Pickens Stadium. He took some shots of the Spirit Walk from up high before the game as well. Here’s some of Bryan’s pictures from overhead.

Also, check out this gallery with other pictures from The Oklahoman of OSU’s 44-10 win over OU.

I learned more than I thought possible about blimps and zeppelins during an assignment earlier this week with Staff Writer Matt Dinger. We got a close look at the Farmers Airship as it visited Oklahoma City as part of history’s longest zeppelin tour. You can read Matt’s story by clicking here.

Meanwhile, if you haven’t seen some of the other photo galleries we’ve publish in the last week, follow some of these links. Bryan Terry turned in some nice pictures from the OU Sooners’ game against Florida State. We’ve been out to the Oklahoma State Fair a few times and if you still haven’t seen pictures from Oklahoma State’s game against Tulsa then click here.

Before we get too far away from summer, there are a couple of pictures that deserve another look. These pictures are an abbreviated look at some of the topics that we photographed over the summer months, but for one reason or another, they haven’t been used on Alternate Crop.

High School Football in the light

Those of us who cover sports at The Oklahoman love high school football. We have one major complaint about it, however; most games are played after the sun sets in very dark stadiums. But at the beginning of the season, when the days are longer and the time has yet to change, we get to shoot with natural light at the most beautiful time of day.

Here’s a batch of high school football photos shot while the light is still shining in the evening and one photo from this weekend’s annual Soul Bowl between Millwood and Douglass, which is played in the afternoon.

To see a gallery of Friday’s high school football games, click here. Why not check out the Soul Bowl gallery too while you’re at it?

Last week I traveled to Konawa, Oklahoma to photograph Stephen Cully for a story by Staff Writer Jason Kersey. Stephen, who plays fullback and linebacker for the Tigers, was born with Amniotic Band Syndrome. You can read Jason’s story about Stephen and his impact on the community by clicking here, or take a look at more of our nDepth pages.
