On The Road
July, 2003
Hi, and welcome to July's On The Road. This months
edition is a few days late as I have been " On The Road "
and I wanted to include my last project taken on July 31st. Get
ready for a variety...................

What do the Thunderbirds have
to do with sports. Well, as you know, I live in Colorado Springs,
Colorado and do some work for the United States Air Force
Academy Athletic Dept. and Sports Information Dept. So I photographed
the Thunderbirds exhibition during Cadet graduation. I used
a D1X, a 70-200VR set on normal mode and panned at 1/50th
for this fly by. |
|
US Gymnastics Championships were next
in Milwaukee. Here the Worlds Team was selected. This image
is from the Jr division. Grace Taylor demonstrates fantastic
flexibility during her uneven parallel bar routine. Nikon
D1X, ISO800 at 1/500th f2.8 with a Nikon 70-200VR lens.

Stock sales occur each month. This image
shot in February for the Air Force Academy is now on file
and ready for Stock Sales. It sold to an equipment company
this month that makes basketball hoops for use in their catalog.
I encourage photographers to retain their copyrights for future
stock sales. |
|
This months Workshop at the Ranch featured
Velodrome Cycling There are always images to be found at
events that might not be the champion but interesting and
perhaps useful for Stock Sales down the road. A paralympic
athlete and his shadow prepare for the day of racing. Nikon
D1X, 300mmf2.8 lens, White Balance(WB) set on Shade-3 for
extra warmth at 8:45am.

 The
Sports Photography Workshop with Rich Clarkson and a great
staff were in town for a week. I have been involved with Rich
and his workshops for 18 years or so and I believe this one
was one of the BEST workshops ever! A " Hands On "
style workshop, Rich Clarkson's Sports Photography Workshop
featured instructors like Rich Clarkson, Peter Read Miller,
John McDonough, Damian Stromeyer, Brad Mangin, Robert Seale,
Maureen Grise, Matt Ginella, Mark and Joey Terrell, and a
host of others, ( and me). The students went right to work
shooting on locations like Coors Field and the Olympic Training
Center,... Arena Lighting classes, Portrait Lighting seminars,
Remote camera workshops and portfolio reviews. A great week
of hands on learning combined with terrific seminars and presentations
So why the Bel Air shot.........? This is the logo for my
WHAT DRIVES an IMAGE presentation that debuted during the
week of the workshop. I believe the students enjoyed and learned
from WHAT DRIVES an IMAGE as I have received over 35 emails
referring to how helpful the presentation had been. If you
have never attended one of Rich's workshops, they are a must
for the photographer that wants to improve, network, and break
into the industry. The Bel Air image was shot with a Nikon
CoolPix 3100. |

Lightpainting in California. This Joshua
Tree was Lightpainted in the desert near, of all places,
Joshua Tree, California. I used a Nikon D100, Bogan Tri
Pod, Nikon 17-35mm lens, at 4seconds f8. A Night Blaster
( AKA Mr. Night Blaster to his friends ) was used to light
the Trees, the twilight illumination was provided by..........well,
the natural light about 30minutes after sunset in the desert.
Many thanks to Rick Rickman for taking me out to this location.

The Road...................................
