Irish are 12-0 and Miami Bound

Congratulations to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish for reaching the BCS National Championship. What a great season and no better way to end the regular season than to beat USC. Here are a few photos from the Irish locker room and Manti Te'o from his freshman year ( ie no tattoos).  Next stop Miami.

Lacrosse Night in Annapolis

Practice does make perfect.   I have not picked up my camera since the end of the college season and it took a while to get back in the groove Saturday night at the MLL lacrosse Lizards vs. Bayhawks game in Annapolis.  Overall I has happy with the results and below are a few samples.   Check out the rest of my gallery at www.bahniuk.com.   Mike Bahniuk, Washington DC sports photographer. 

Another Lacrosse Season is Over

Another season comes to and end and I was glad to see a full page in the July issue of Inside Lacrosse from the NCAA game with UVA and Notre Dame in Philadelphia.  Football season will be right around the corner. 

NCAA Men's Quarterfinals in Philadelphia

What a great stadium and and it looks like lacrosse has found a new home.   PPL Park in Philadelphia was home to the NCAA D-1 Quarterfinals and what a great location, right next to the Delaware river and under the Commodore Barry Bridge.  Usually stadium shots are pretty lame, but this stadium was a great backdrop.


I tried not to be a homer, but is was great to see Notre Dame back in the finals for the second time in three years.   I will miss shooting the finals next week in Boston and go Irish. 

Friday Night Lacrosse in Baltimore

Busy weekend with a few lacrosse games.   The MIAA Lacrosse Championships were the place to be Friday night in Baltimore.   Good crowd to see the MIAA A championship game with Calvert Hall vs. Loyola.   Johnny Unitas Stadium at Towson University has great light for late afternoon games with the sun setting right behind the endzone.   Great afternoon light for the early games, but this did not last for the final game.   Mike Bahniuk, Washington DC Sports Photographer.  

ND VS GT IN DC

Still trying to get used to my new Canon Mk IV, and I think I have some the settings finally moving in the right direction.   Not a 100% happy with the results, but I am sure it is me and not the camera.   Here are a few from the Notre Dame vs Georgetown lacrosse game in Washington DC.   Nice showing from the local Irish supporters and it looked like a ND home game.   Mike Bahniuk, Washington DC Sports Photographer.
