Don't be such a Foreigner

got a chance to see Foreigner play at our local fair, it was a great show and the music sounded just like you would expect it too

Cuz you're a FIREWORK baby! Oh... Oh... Oh...

"Independence" it's what today is all about kids.

Road Tripin' Coopah Style

Short post big grin! Had the chance to take my first run on the historic Maryhill Loops Road in Klickitat County Washington. My car club (MId Columbia MINIs) met up with the Puget Sound MINI Motoring Club and made the run on the twisty turn-y, curvy, winding dream of a road. The road is owned by the Maryhill Museum of Art and home for the Maryhill Festival of Speed which takes place each summer.

This one works for me...

One of the things I enjoy doing is sports photography... I am not necessarily a knowledgeable sports fan that can spit out facts and figures, I just like the process of capturing a quality fleeting moment not easily seen by the naked eye... it gets the ole heart pumping when you know you've got a good one "in the can"!

Decent images of penalty shots  and shootouts have always been rather tough for me.. I mean how do you capture the essence of a the moment like that? You have so many elements, the kicker, the goalie, the team, the fans, the officials... over the past few games I think I have found an angle that I like and have been exploring it.

Shooting behind the net!! That's the ticket... well at least for me for now... :-) shooting this angle has always appealed to me, but finding the right way to capture great moments with this angle I have not always been successful with. But after shooting a few games doing it more frequently I think I have found a way to include multiple elements of a nail biting scene that gets pretty much gets everyone on their feet.
