I'm a bad uncle

I admit it I am lazy when it comes to processing photos...

Quick bit of info about this one. It was shot under horrendous conditions for capturing sports. Night sports under stadium lights are terrible venues for an amatuer photographer, I really need a fast prime to do it properly or a better camera body. Like either of those are going to happen soon.


Anyway this is a picture of my neice I did get a better action shot but I cut her head off so i have to settle for this as my second best of the night.

Anyway, I hope you like it it is a bit grainy because I had to bump the ISO so high but flash photography is not a good thing when one is playing sports and you certainly don't want to make the officials mad... seems like they are mad to start with...

I think I am going to try to work this one a little more to see if I can get it to look better though...

Cheers

OK so I have been slacking...

Or should I say working.... Blogging is a leisure activity not a job. Although that would be cool if I could have a job just blogging, hell I'd even make up stuff to make it more interesting, oh wait that's what I really want to be an author :)

Anyway I got some nice pictures of my neice the other day while she was playing soccer. It was under horrid condidtions (stadium lights) I had to take my ISO up as far as I could which I was not happy about, makes all the pictures grainy.... sigh maybe one day I can get a 5D, I have heard those handle high ISO much better than my little Rebel.

I have still to edit the photos and I know she wants to see them I have been just sooooooo lazy when it comes to completing that stuff. I know I know just do it.

K off to finish up work then maybe I can get to editing some photos....

Flying High!

I took an introductory flight today. Wow talk about fun stuff. I can really see the attraction to flying. The instructor let me take off and do a few turns so it was pretty fun. Then he showed me a few fun maneuvers like a 60 degree bank and some dips. Way more intense feeling than in a rollercoaster. I actually had enough fun that I am actually thinking of getting my pilot's license. It might be a while before I do it but it is something that I will have in the back of my mind from now on.

I think I will take the boy up there to show him the plane that I flew, he seemed really interested in it. He thought I was going to fly one of the big commercial airline jets. I don't think he has ever seen a Cessna before.

Back in town

Well I got away from the city for a bit. Had a good time with the kiddos. Didn't get as many photo ops as I would have liked but hey you can't put a price on spending time with kiddos :o)

Anyway here a fw shots I took I am not sure if I like them or not. The sunset is heavily photo shopped there was atually next to no colour in the sky so I just adjusted it ;)

I'll list some more photos later...

Well not a whole lot to say

I am going away for a few days, kids and wife are coming too. Along with my family paparazzi kit. That's what my wife refers to my camera gear now. I don't think it is too big of a deal I mean I have two lenses, a tripod and a flash w/bracket.

Well in any event I am hoping to get some good quality captures of nature and of the kids. Something frame worthy :)
