Collegiate recruiting is a battle field. Protecting your home-turf is often a hard job, especially with other powers in close proximity. Part of Tim Mile’s battle strategy is to show both recent connections and historical greats to recruits homes.

2015-16 Nebraska Men’s Basketball Poster
The first major print project as lead designer in the Nebraska Athletic Department, I wanted to get away from “normal” with the 2015-16 Men’s Basketball Schedule Poster. Generally, the Athletic Schedule Posters were 18″ x 24″ printed on a standard paper in four-color with flood gloss coating.
I opted to go with a panoramic size, featuring the faces of the team. Not only did I opt for a one-color piece, but added some shine by using a metallic ink on a matte, bamboo paper with no flood coating at all.
When designing the poster, I had to really focus on the details, curves and levels of the one color. Playing with some halftone bitmapping, I was able to get accurate shading of each player without degrading the quality of the print and keeping the shimmer of the ink.

Shooting Stars
On a clear autumn night, I took a drive just outside the Lincoln, Nebraska city limits, just west of Pioneers Park. Shooting in different quadrants (somewhat randomly), I was able to capture quite a bit of color. Sadly, I did not catch any of the six or seven “shooting stars” I watched streak across the sky.
Images were shot with a Canon 5D Mark III on a Sigma 120-300mm lens (24mm lens for the campsite image) at f/2.8 with a 30″ exposure.

Super Blood Moon
The sun, the Earth and the moon lined up to become a Big Red Moon Sunday night. With clear skies, and a little good luck, I perched myself and several cameras high atop Memorial Stadium to capture this possibly once-in-a-lifetime event.
You see, the moon was a supermoon, a full moon at its closest point to the Earth. The last lunar eclipse of a supermoon occurred in 1982. It was the fifth occurrence since the start of the 20th century and the last for nearly 20 years.
Through the eyes of a telescope, I was able to host a live broadcast over Periscope. Through the stream, I discovered that many others were experiencing what I feared might happen in Lincoln – inclement weather. I was honored to be able to share the spectacular sights and sounds of the Super Blood Moon from over 200 feet above Tom Osborne Field.
Moreover, I am humbled to have nearly 12,000 people from around the globe spend some time sharing my view. Below are several captures of the streams from start to finish of the Big Red Moon.
I’d like to thank a few friends for being with me on the press box roof, helping in various ways. H/t to Chad Chiesa, Kelly Mosier (and family), Matt Tomjack (and family), and Brooks Armstrong.
Edit: Due to several requests, you will find a list of equipment used at the bottom of this post.
With the help of Chad Chiesa, we were able to simulcast some “behind-the-scenes” coverage of the fun:
Still Photos: Canon 5D Mark III – Canon 24-70mm lens, Canon 300mm lens
Time Lapse: BlackMagicDesign Cinema Camera – 24-70mm lens
Broadcast: iPhone 5S, 13mm and 17mm Celestron eyepiece, modified Celestron 1300mm telescope
