For the final home game of IU’s historic football season, I coordinated with the IU Athletics Department to capture aerial photos and videos of a snow-covered Memorial Stadium. This was IU’s first home night game of the season, presenting an interesting opportunity to capture the sold-out stadium after dark. The snowy weather at kickoff added another unique element to the photos. It’s not often that we have snow in Bloomington this early in the season, let alone for a football game. The game marked my third experience flying within a temporary flight restriction (TFR) after being granted a waiver from the FAA.

For IU’s home opener against Ohio State, I worked with the IU Athletics Department to capture aerial photos and videos of a nearly-full Memorial Stadium. This all followed an application and paperwork process with the FAA and TSA. Ultimately, I was granted a waiver allowing me to operate a drone within the temporary flight restriction (TFR) blanketing the airspace over the stadium. Some of this is outlined in a post I contributed to for the University Photographers Association of America (UPAA).

I had to laugh a little on Monday morning walking to the Loftus Sports Center at Notre Dame. Here I was technically photographing something referred to as “spring” football, but it was 2 degrees Fahrenheit and I couldn’t feel my fingers by the time I hit the door. Let’s hope we thaw out in time for the Blue-Gold game.

The 2013 Notre Dame football season was my second covering the team. Last season, I was surprised – as I imagine most people were – to see the Irish go 12-0 in the regular season, eventually losing to Alabama in the BCS National Championship Game. As a follow-up to their perfect regular season, the Irish struggled to an 8-4 record and will play Rutgers in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl on Dec. 28. The big difference for me between last season and this season was comfort. I was more comfortable working within the crammed confines of Notre Dame Stadium because I was more accustomed to it and knew my way around the stadium. After checking it out last year, I used the photo deck of the stadium on a few occasions this season to find interesting and unique angles. I would be lying if I didn’t mention probably the biggest difference though: gear. This summer our staff upgraded me from a Canon EOS-1D Mark III to a Canon EOS-1D X. This made a huge difference. With the 1D X, I was better able to capture peak-action moments I often missed and/or back focused last season with the 1D Mark III. Despite Notre Dame’s disappointing follow-up to their title-game berth, it was a fun season for my colleague Robert Franklin and me.
