Fayetteville-Manlius 10 - Fairport 9 in Overtime
-- The Red Raiders traveled to Cicero-North Syracuse High School in Syracuse for the first of the three Upstate semi finals games today. It has been a long time for the Fayetteville-Manlius Hornets to get this far, having to battle the tough Class A schedule in Section Three.
Dan McAvoy scored the first goal of the game for Fairport. Working from the left wing, he sharply turned back and shot underhand to give the Red Raiders a 1-0 lead at 8:57. F-M took the ensuing face off but lost control of the ball to the Red Raiders who then took some time off the clock. Senior attackman Ryan Crater, working from the top center quickly passed the ball to Justin Kesselring for a Fairport goal at 7:59. On the third trip to their end, Nick Orsini ran a sweep left and scored an unassisted goal at 4:05. After missing a one-one-one, Section Three`s leading scorer, Jack Wilson chased down his own shot and quickly moved it to Dylan Taylor-Wolford, out front, who scored on a bounced shot past Fairport`s Joey Scalise. Fairport had the ball after the face off and after a couple of missed shots, the first quarter ended with the Red Raiders up 3-1.
Both goalies made saves before Wilson scored after breaking past two Fairport defensemen and taking the scored to 3-2 with 7:12 left in the half. Fairport took time off the clock each time they had offensive sets. The Hornets tied the game at 3-3 when Wilson scored on a feed from senior middie Luke Krizman who threw the ball from top center top to the right wing. Head Coach Mike Torrelli called a time out with just under a minute in the half. After three missed shots and with time running down, McAvoy ran hard from behind the goal and after jumping up in the air, scored with less than one second left. The Red Raider took the half-time lead 4-3.
Key in the first half was turnovers, where F-M had nine and Fairport had three. The extra ball time allowed the Red Raiders to take time in their offensive end and set up the looks they wanted. A significant number of shots hit the pipes at both end of the field.
Fairport won the first possession on a technical face off and after setting up, Shane Cronkwright drove hard from the left and bounced one past F-M goalie Brian Charlamb. After the next face off Orsini struck again with a shot from out front that bounced off Charlamb`s stick and went in, giving Fairport a 6-3 lead. Less than a minute later, Fairport scored again, as Kacin Welch put one in on a switchback. Thirty-four seconds later, F-M found the nets as Erik Badger had a change of direction dodge and took the score to 7-4. After a couple of saves by Scalise that bounced back out, Alex Lenze picked up a ground ball and quickly scored to take the game to 7-5. Badger scored again at 4:00 with an outside shot from top center, scoring the third in a row. F-M tied the game again at 7-7 with Wilson running it in from a clear. The Hornets had scored four in a row and owned the third quarter.
Wilson, scoring less than a minute into the last quarter gave the Hornets their first lead of the game (8-7). At 4:50, Fairport tied that game with McAvoy`s outside low shot from the front. The Hornets picked up the face off and had the first offensive try. Scalise made a nice save, but the ball was lost on the clear. Scalise made a second save and barely cleared the ball, before a Fairport time out with 3:21 left in regulation. After the short break, Welch took the ball way out front and bounced it in for a 9-8 lead, but F-M won the next face off on a technical foul and worked the ball around looking for Wilson. Fairport knocked the ball down but Fairport lost possession and F-M took a time out with 1:21 left. Wilson dodged his man and for the fifth time, tied the game at 9-9 with 0:50. Fairport won a critical face off and Coach Torrelli called for a time out with 0:40 left. The Red Raiders got an outside shot just at the end of the quarter, but the teams remained tied after four quarters.
The Hornets won the face off and had first chance to score. They called time out at 3:32. After a couple of drives by Wilson, senior defenseman Sam Dovan got control of the ball the Riders took the ball up field and called a Fairport time out with 2:55 left in the first overtime period. Orsini had a shot (wide), but Fairport maintained the possession. McAvoy shot but it was saved by Charlamb. The ball moved to the other end where Scalise made his own save. Wilson then took a shot (wide) from top center. Wilson got the ball from behind the net and ran a tight cut to the goal, scoring the game-winning goal with an underhand shot. Wilson was in on all but four goals in the game. The Hornets will play at Hofstra on Saturday against Massapequa for the State Championship (11:00 am start).
JD 17 - Victor 13
-- TD Ierlan took the first face off right to the goal, but was unsuccessful and after a quick trip up and back, sophomore defenseman Jack Callahan gave the ball to sophomore attackman Max Lambert for the first goal of the game. After a number of saves at both ends of the field, senior attackman Griffin Johnson picked up a loose ball near the crease and popped it in past Justin Young to tie the game at 1-1.

Yakim, I could easily shoot this in a single shot, but my cat would probably never want to model for me again. Plus, it would have been cruel to scare her so. This way I get what I want, and Ciara doesn't have such drama.

I understand your reasoning and would probably have done the same if I were in your shoes (and if I knew how to do this .
) but it's just that I am a bit conservative about PS. I don't mind this if it is obvious (e.g.
) but such things are harder for me to digest.
Happy shooting,

Yakim, It is a philosophical question. I believe in the "painting with light" school, and you sound like you prefer the "light scribe" school. (These are terms I use). I can assure that what I did to this photo, and indeed Endre's photo - were done decades before the computer even existed...let alone Photoshop. I did it the old way for many years. Masking, burning, dodging 100's of photos per week for advertising. I approach photography with something in my minds eye...a loose construct, or a very detailed vision. Then I try and make it a reality. A camera is one tool to do this, but if you think about it. There is nothing (no tool) that can capture the 3D reality you see or envisage. A photo is a 2D representation of a 3D reality. I'm pretty mild in my photos, and tend towards straight captures quite often. But great photos are rarely candid captures. They are planned, tweaked, setup, artificially lit, scripted....etc.

I know what you mean. My father did this approximately 35 years ago with 6X6 film when I was a child. He printed my face on top of his forehead as if to say he is thinking of me. Always thought about this pic as a bit odd .
I agree that it indeed is a philosophical question but I can't agree with the notion that great photos are rarely candid captures. Some are, others aren't. Now we can really get philosophical ..
I guess I need to learn PS a bit more to get out of this conservatism. Problem is, I expect this to happen in about 20 years, when my kids will move out of the house and I am retired .

My opinion is that you simply have to find your own boundaries of what you are comfortable doing in photography. I have had this discussion with journalist/photographers for years. They believe to alter the photo in any way is deceitful, and dishonest. I have pointed out that composition alone can completely change the reality of what actually occurred. Journalist use to use flash quite often, and they adjust images to mimic the human eye's dynamic range etc. Many believe they merely record an event, but through the above examples they can project their bias, and their POV. Sure, in journalism you can't draw out distracting parts of the image, or overly retouch. But, photography is far broader field than journalism. And photo journalism is not a record of reality - try as they might, and as close as they get.
I produce images to effect the viewer, to convey my feeling, or vision. An idealized reality, reality as I see it, or a plausible reality, and even a fantasy reality. Instead of using paint and a brush - I use light and the absence of light. It is not deceitful - it is art. When it's not art, then it tends towards capturing something most people don't get a chance to see - (I'm thinking of Bird Photos, Landscapes, Cityscapes, Seacapes etc). My boundaries in Photography are broad, some will be broader, and some narrower than I.
The most poignant example of this philosophical question that I can think of is a winning photo of the year by an AP about 10 years ago. The photographer was in Sudan (I think) waiting for a young boy to fall over from starvation...as a group of vultures stood (as big as the boy) within mere arms reach of the boy. As he waited for the right time to capture the moment he struggled within himself about should he help the boy or record the imminent death. He thought about the chocolate bar he had in his pocket....how well fed he was...could he actually yank this kid back from the edge of death's door. He took the photo, and left the boy. A few years later he committed suicide, because of his decision. Detached professionalism on the razors edge of ethics. See, I could never be a photojournalist, because my nature is to get involved. I am not saying that photo journalism puts the photo before humanity. I'm just illustrating going over the edge of right and wrong (IMO) in the "purist" view of straight capture. Examples of altered photos (the other side of the philosophical question) stepping over this line happen quite often (IMO), and are easier to point out. That last bit is a subjective opinion.
Happy Shooting to you too..

Hi James,
I do not believe that altering a photo in any way is deceitful or dishonest and I do agree with you that it is art. I just think that whenever such an image is shown, it should be noted immediately by the photographer that it is altered, that's all. In some cases it is obvious (e.g. Strad's picture) so I don't really need such a note but in others (e.g. yours) it is not.
Happy shooting,

Hi Jim,
I don't know what all the 'fuss' is about....bottom line is....this is one amazing capture, and a finalist for sure! As the owner of a rescued Black Beauty very much like the one in your image, (see my Gallery,) I may be a little prejudice but I think this is a stunning shot.
There's no rule at FM that says one must give away their secrets, or even that it's necessary to mention when an image has been given a 'Photoshop' tweak at all.
Photography is what it is, be it art or photojournalism, but in this forum, the only rules that apply are Fred's rules, and the deadlines. Let that suffice.

Defenseman Appeared in Seven Games for P-Bruins
Providence, RI - The Providence Bruins, in their 19th season in the American Hockey League, tonight announced that the National Hockey League's Boston Bruins have reassigned defenseman Cody Wild to the Reading Royals of the ECHL. He is expected to make his Royals debut on Dec. 19 at Wheeling.
Wild, 23, appeared in seven games for Providence to start the season, tallying one assist along with a minus-three rating.
The native of North Providence, RI, was acquired by Boston from Edmonton in a trade for forward Matt Marquardt on Mar. 2, 2010, making Providence Wild's third team of the 2009-10 season. Wild appeared in 18 contests for the P-Bruins, registering three assists, and also chipped in 14 helpers in 37 games for Springfield and one assist in four outings for the ECHL's Stockton. In his professional career, he has scored 43 points, including 37 assists, in 144 games.
The fourth-year pro began his career late in the 2007-08 campaign after finishing three seasons at Providence College. Wild was selected by the Oilers 140th overall in round five of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.
The P-Bruins' roster is now comprised of 23 players, including 14 forwards, seven defensemen and two goaltenders.
To purchase tickets or for more information, call the Providence Bruins ticket office at (401) 273-5000 or log on to the team website at providencebruins.com.
