Being sick sucks

Been under the weather throughout the week, so I’ve been having quite a bit of rest here on Saturday.  Gotta get up and start cleaning up around the house though.  I wanted to just throw a quick update out here just to keep things alive and to show off some of the things that I’ve been doing throughout the past 7 days.  Hopefully, next week, I’ll be in much better shape to get things going more. 

Haven’t shot any soccer this weekend due to recovery, but I’m still waiting to see more participation from the parents as far as buying pictures.   Can’t work for free, you know!

My brother and his wife her in town over the weekend so I got to hang out with them.  Surprisingly, even though the camera was with me, I just hung out without taking any shots.  Of course, he ribs me about being a camera/photo geek so I wanted to avoid that too haha.

Over the weekend, Renee wanted me to come hang out and get some good pictures for a get-together that she was having.   Turned out to be a pretty good time.  Oh! And never have too much to drink when a photographer is around.

Also, on Monday, when I was about to mow the lawn, I saw my neighbor Ed out with his camera trying to take a picture of something.  Turns out that he had spotted a praying mantis in his garden.  I hadn’t had the chance to photograph any yet, so I was definitely more interested in doing that rather than mowing the lawn.  While there, I got some interesting shots of other insects around as well.

Well, it’s time to start cleaning up around the house!  Peace!

Sports Shooting Tips

Well, had a pretty busy weekend now that I’ve started shooting youth sports again.  This time it’s soccer even though I wouldn’t mind shooting football again since that’s where I’ve gotten a lot of my portfolio worthy shots.  But I figured that I while I’m exporting the first game’s photos, that I would write up a quick blog entry since I got Lightroom just about maxed out.  Quad core CPU, 4 gigs of ram and I can still make a pc cry for mercy. 

Well, anyway, there’s a few things that I’ve learned or “relearned” about shooting youth sports.  Especially soccer, since you will end up taking a LOT more shots than other youth sports due to the constant action.  For those that don’t understand or dabble too much in photography, I’m sorry if this seems a bit “geeked” out for you, but I figured this would be good info.  So here we go.

Wooo!! It’s been a while

So, umm, yea, it’s been a while since I’ve updated the blog.  Not that I haven’t had anything to say or being lazy, but life had been rather, umm, complicated lately haha.  And man, I wish I could tell EVERYTHING, but that would just cause so much more drama than what I’ve already been going through.   But I’ll give a few summaries, because I know some of you are wondering if I just completely fell off the face of the planet.
