Flickr Slideshow- Creative Photography: Motion

I was presented with the opportunity to be a guest photographer for the drag races at the US 36 Raceway in Osborn MO. I gladly accepted this opportunity and brought my friend JP Richardson along to do some shooting. There were cars of about every type. Shooting this event was pretty interesting. We had strong [...]

I’m redoing my sports assginment. I went out and shot the UCM Mules baseball game vs SBU Bearcats. Here are the photos. Flickr Slideshow-Editorial Sports: Baseball

For my 4th Editorial assignment, I chose to use my Track Meet Field event photos. This shoot was particularly interesting because I got to use a Canon 1Ds Mark III and a Canon 200mm f/2.8 lens. I also obtained a Media Pass which allowed me to go into off limits areas to capture the shots I [...]

So I went out to this skate park one Saturday in October and shot some of there skateboarders. Most of them weren’t very bad at all, but I wouldn’t consider them pros yet. It was a nice cool morning that warmed up fairly fast. The sun kept disappearing and reappearing from behind some stormy-looking clouds. [...]
