On The Road
January, 2004
Happy New Year and welcome to the
January edition of On The Road 2004. One year ago I launched my
website and the two pages that have been a big success with over
700 people logging on each each month to Workshop at the Ranch
and On The Road. Know man is an island and so it is with me. This
website would not have been as user friendly and well designed
without the work of Eric Murphy of Two Doors Design and Photography.
I am a photographer, not a computer expert. Eric is both a computer
expert and a very talented photographer. Do yourself a favor and
visit the MASTER of WEB, the JEDI of MEGABITES, the..............well,
you get the idea,... check out his website at www.2doors.com.
Here we go into a new year, so let's start off with....................football.

Many photographers put down
their cameras when the teams head to the locker room after
the pregame warmup. I guess I am always looking for something.
Shannon Sharpe of the Denver Broncos already had his game
face on and his helmet off for this image as he and teammates
head for the locker room. Nikon D2H, ISO200, Aperture Priority,
WB Auto with Hue-3( this is where I have my D2H Cameras set
to add a cooler cast to the whites), Nikon 400mm f2.8 lens,
Lexar 1G Flash Card, hand held. |

Tony Gonzalez WR for the Kansas City
Chiefs runs into daylight through the black curtain shadow
of INVESCO Field at Mile High. Nikon D2H, ISO500, Aperture
Priority, WB Auto, Nikon 400mm f2.8 lens with TC14E 1.4X
Teleconverter, Lexar 1G Flash Card, Hand Held. I chose the
High ISO as the play began in the shadow. Aperture Priority
was the perfect choice for this situation as the light changed
about 3stops from shadow to sunlight.

Touchdown run#4 by Clinton Portis of Denver.
Under the lights of Mile High this was one of Clinton's record
breaking touchdown runs. I especially like this shot for several
reasons. Key game, Key Player, Key play, and you can see his
facial expression and his eye looking over his shoulder at
the distant Chiefs player. Nikon D2H, ISO800, 1/640/2.8, WB
Auto,.....HAND HELD. No I did not forget my mono-pod. I hand
hold whenever I can. I am quicker and can squeeze into places
much the way sideline TV guys do. |

Clinton Portis and the Championship
belt mobbed by the media after his record breaking game.
My first oppertunity to use a Nikon Speedlight with the
D2H. Nikon D2H, ISO400, Aperture Priority EV-0.3, Nikon
12-24 f4 lens, SB-80DX Speedlight TTL -1 1/3, Lexar 1G Flash
Card.

WHOA !.....Here is a change of pace. The
ISU Grand Prix of Figure Skating Finals. Sasha Cohen came
in as the Favorite but left #2 to Fumie Suguri of Japan. Nikon
D2H, ISO800, WB 5000K, Nikon400mm f2.8 lens, Lexar 1G Flash
Card,..........Hand Held. I found a sweet spot next to Mike
the ABC TV Camera operator at ice level. If I used a mono
pod I would obstruct his view so...no mono pod and I can sit
in a chair all night.......SWEET ! |
|
I really got lucky here........NOT.
I try not to count on luck, but faith. I came to the arena
one day early and watched the ice dancers skate through
the Original Program which has a definite pattern. So...
up goes the remote over the clean section of ice where the
fast footwork part of the Original Program is....and it
is no coincidence that this image shows the ladies dress
flying out. COME EARLY and STAY LATE always pays off. Nikon
D2H, ISO1000, 1/800sec at f2.8, Nikon 70-200VR lens, WB
5000K, Pocket Wizzard MULTI MAX wireless Transceiver to
trigger the remote.

Beautiful Colors and Dance Movement can create
a wonderful image especially at my favorite creative shutter
speed for figure skating , 1/13thsec. Nikon D2H, ISO200,WB
5000K, Nikon400mmf2.8lenswith TC14E 1.4X Teleconverter 1/13sec
f11...............and yes, Hand Held. |

January is Super Bowl month to many
sports fans. This is a photograph of the 1923 Green Bay
Professionals who became better known as the Green Bay Packers.
My fathers father,...my Grandfather, was close friends with
Earl " Curly " Lambeau. My fathers house has several
items that marked their friendship including Packer photographs
from the 1920's, songbooks with the " OFFICIAL "
Green Bay Packer FIGHT SONG, and an original share of Green
Bay Packer stock that my Grandfather and Curly Lambeau sold
door to door to the towns people of Green Bay. 1923......obviously
not my image, but I thought some of you might enjoy seeing
this rare photograph. Curly Lambeau is in the top row, far
left.

That's it. Well, I hope you all had a
Merry Christmas and Santa brought you everything you asked for.
As for me, I have God, Family and Country to be thankfull for.
And my work and friends and all of you who come each month and
take a walk...... On The Road...........see you next time. Remember,
I always look forward to those of you who email questions and
comments to me during each month. Keep them coming...............
Adios, Dave
