I photographed the Holy Family high school volleyball tournament yesterday held at Holy Family High school. It featured teams from around northern Colorado including Berthoud and Windsor. Since the weather was chilly outside, a spring volleyball tournament was a perfect diversion. Ordinarily scheduled for the fall, high school volleyball is being during season C during the spring of 2021. The matches were closely fought but Windsor came out on top defeating both Holy Family and Berthoud. The tournament gave me a chance to photograph in the auxiliary gym which is lit by LEDs and skylights in addition to the normal sodium vapor lights. It is insanely bright which made for some cool photos you ordinarily don’t get. The one drawback of the smaller gym is that I could not get above the net. I had to shoot from the floor.

2016 Colorado High School Volleyball Finals
I photographed the 2016 Colorado High School Volleyball Finals at the Denver Coliseum again this year. Â The matches in 5A were unbelievable this year as no one dominant team emerged. Â Every match seemed to be hotly contested and several went five sets. Â Fossil Ridge won 5A in dramatic fashion, in what else, a fifth set. Â I also covered matches in other classifications including the 3A and 4A finals. Congratulations to Lewis Palmer and Eaton for winning titles again this year in 4A and 3A respectively. Â The emotion the girls displayed was great to photograph as well. Â As always, I tried to photograph volleyball from a number of different angles, including from up in the stands so I could get a better perspective on plays at the net.
