On The Road

September, 2003

  I was VERY busy On The Road this month. Let's take a look...................

  image#1 Lightpainting in the Canadian Rockies near Banff, Alberta. This serene setting of colorful canoes was shot 20minutes after sunset ( about 10:15 pm ) I captured this image with a Nikon D100, a 20 second exposure at ISO200 , a NEW Nikon 12-24mm lens, and my Lightpainting side kick " Mr Night Blaster "( 2million candled powered hand held spotlight was used to illuminate the canoes and trees.)
image#2 Lightpainting again, this time well after sunset and a 30 second exposure and my Nikon D100 camera with a 12-24mm lens. I set the camera on Timer Shutter Release for 20 seconds so I could have time to walk to the side and Lightpaint the scene. ISO 320 at f5.6
  image#3 The World Gymnastics Championships were held at Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim August15-24. I was asked to be the Photo Chief for the venue and the 85 accredited photographers from around the world. Gymnasts tend to make great images of athletic movement and interesting shapes. As Photo Chief, I was also asked to photograph the key moments of the 10 day event. Here, Fan Ye of China performs a Pak Salto on the Uneven Parallel Bars. Nikon D1X, ISO 800 at 1/650sec Nikon 70-200 VR lens f2.8. Captured with RAW NEF file on a Lexar 512 Flash Card.
image#4 Preparing the venue with photo positions for photographers was one of my responsibilities. I made a point of having remote camera access for the pool of international agencies. This image of Alexei Nemov of Russia was captured from one of many locations above the competitive floor. Nikon D1X, ISO 640 at 1/800sec and a Nikon 300mm lens f2.8 Captured with RAW NEF file on a Lexar 512 Flash Card.
  
  image#5 NBC provided some great lighting for the Worlds. Here the grid of lights concentrated on the athletes, and not the audience. This style of lighting helped create a dramatic image of the USA's Hollie Vise during her signature skill on the Balance Beam. Nikon D1X, Nikon 70-200VR lens. ISO 800, 1/400sec. f2.8 Captured RAW NEF file on a Lexar 512 Flash Card.
image#6 Flying home I had an oppertunity to see a great sunset. I used a Nikon COOLPIX 5700 to capture this image. Captured RAW NEF file on a Lexar 512 Flash Card.

  The World Gymnastics Championships was a huge undertaking for me. I could not have done it alone and was fortunate to have Max Morse from Brooks Institute and Danny Scannell, a long time friend and Gymnastics coach assist me during the Championships. We made a great team and hope all the photographers enjoyed photographing the sport of Gymnastics.

  This was an exhausting month and an exhausting summer of projects. As always, I look forward to your emails and comments. Join me again next month for On The Road. Adios, Dave

See you next month with On The Road. Adios, Dave
