A year ago, Carly Rae Tanner was swimming at the NCAA Championships for UNC-Wilmington. This year, she moved behind the lens to capture the UNC-W men’s 13th straight CAA Conference Championship. Enjoy the vault of Carly’s photos below to recapture the drama of last weekend’s conference championship run.

It’s a White Balance issue. You need to shoot a 50% grey card or white card and then adjust the pictures in Photoshop or comparable software. You probably have sodium lights, florescent lamps, and sunlight all combining to produce white that isn’t “white.”
I’ve shot (and swum) at the UMD pool a few times and even though the natatorium is well-lit, there’s always this yellowish tinge to the photos. The color of the water even comes out different than it does anywhere else. Can’t put my finger on it and it drives me a little nuts.
It’s a great day to be a Seahawk, thanks for sharing, Carly!
