Last Cal home waterpolo game of the season! Awesome close game. As always, comments and critiques welcomed!

This is probably the only water polo threads I've paid attention to (outside of olympic threads), but these are really amazing. Is this strobed indoors our outside?

Love the back-lit water spray shots.

Just out of sheer curiosity for those of us who know nothing about the sport, what are the plastic covers over the ears for?

Jeff_Stapleton,
Thanks for the nice comment. This is all shot outdoors. I shot a certain angle such that the background and the foreground brightness is roughly equal. Sometimes I cheat with a bit of shadow recovery. I didn't use flash at all.

gschlact,
Good question. The plastic covers are used for protecting the ears. From http://waterpolo.isport.com/water-polo-guides/essential-water-polo-gear , they are used to "Protect the ears, since an elbow or a water polo ball with enough velocity can burst an eardrum."

The back-lit water spray shots is amazing well taken.
