Denver Nuggest host the Boston Celtics

I recently got a new camera, a Canon 7D, primarily because the digital camera I have been using the Canon 1D Mark II, well, needed to be replaced. Especially since we are headed to Scotland for our honeymoon in May, I wanted to have a good camera to take some cool pics. I decided I wanted the first photos I took with the new camera were going to be of my trusty pooch, Cali, who is 12 1/2 years old.



Last night Ashley and I went to the Pepsi Center to watch the Nuggets take on the Celtics. It was amazing how many Boston fans there were at the game. Ash and I agreed that they must be like the Yankees and the Cowboys, who all have fans across the country.

Ash got discounted tickets from her work, and we were sitting up in the nosebleeds at the Pepsi Center.

Ty Lawson holds the ball with both arms as he drives to the basket around Rajon Rondo.




Denver's Al Harrington winces after going up for a rebound in the first quarter. Soon after I took this photo, a dude who worked at the Pepsi Center, who saw me from three sections away, came up to me and told me that I had to put away the lens I was using because it wasn't allowed in the arena. I was using a telephoto lens and I knew that they weren't allowed, but I snuck it in anyways. Hey I wanted to take cool pics!




So at halftime, Ash and I moved over to the opposite side of the court, sitting in the top row of the arena. Can't find me now Pepsi Center worker!

Boston's Delonte West got Denver's J.R. Smith to bite on a pump fake, and after Smith came down near West, he jumped into him and got the foul called on Smith.




Nuggets' Chris "Birdman" Andersen rips a rebound away from Boston's Kevin Garnett during the third quarter. Andersen, who had a battle with drug use early in his career but has since cleaned up and plays great ball for the Nuggets, has the most tattoos I've ever seen.




Nene and "Big Baby" got into it a little bit after Nene threw Garnett to the ground fighting under the backboard. Cooler head prevailed and no technical fouls were issued.




Denver head coach George Karl draws up a play during the final few minutes of the game during a timeout.




After being shown on Jumbotron, Ash found where Tim Tebow was sitting along the baseline. He's wearing the white hat. Must be a tough job being the guy sitting behind Tebow to protect him from crazed fans rushing up on him.




Gotta be pretty hard to shoot a three pointer with a hand in your face, as J.R. Smith found out when Boston's Ray Allen blocked his view.




This was one of the first videos I shot with the camera. I think it's so awesome that you can shoot video through still camera. this is shot with my 100mm-400mm telephoto lens at the end of the game. Denver's Kenyon Martin drains a three pointer to seal the win for the Nuggets 89-75.




Ash and I have less than three months until our wedding! We are so excited and can't wait for May.
