This shot was taken with my iPhone. It’s the first time I have tried this technique on such a small screen and I must say it isn’t easy.

Is it just me?

Click me

Or do the cameras on netbooks have a really unflattering angle?

Who nose?

Well?

Roadeo time again!

Yes it was time for my annual “volunteering” to photograph at the Indiana para-transit roadeo. As usual it was a lot of fun and as usual I took way too many photos. It took forever to sort through them and pick the ones they would want versus ones that I shot more for myself.

Finally done with that portion of the task and now I have to burn them to disc and distribute them. I am going to share one of my favorites now and get off here so I can watch the storm that’s getting ready to hit!

I don’t know.

It’s been a rough week and the next one looks to be more of the same. I did an event photo shoot for a local nonprofit. While there someone from another agency spotted me and asked my wife if I would shoot their event next week.

I’m a sucker for this kind of stuff since you always meet some of the nicest people. Since I do it for free they always feed me. So nice people, free food, and a chance to photograph people, what’s not to like?

Gracie came to visit

Granddaughter came to visit on mothers day and I took the opportunity to take a few grab shots of her. I posted one of these on Facebook and saved one exclusively for here. Shhh, I’m going to post them both here and hope the one doesn’t show up on Facebook twice!

I enjoyed playing with her and trying to get her to smile. Babies are so awesome.

Still sick, went back to see doctor today, more medicine to take! YAY

Let’s get on to something a little more interesting shall we. This is a portrait I took of the girls just before Christmas. I am not super happy with it, I really need a better background and the lighting is a bit off. Why am I sharing it with you then? Cause I am sick and haven’t taken anything new yet!

Attention Pro Sports Photographers

Jeff A — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 01:09:28 +0000

I didn’t need a $10,000 lens, or a camera that shoots 5 frames per second. I didn’t shoot 20 frames leading up to this moment. One shot, I followed the action and anticipated the catch. I got one of my favorite sports shots so far.

The Colts Austin Collie catches the one and only touchdown of the night against the Baltimore Ravens.

Not that I think I’m great, just the opposite actually, I think I am pretty mediocre most of the time. I’m just saying to all those who want to shoot great shots, it doesn’t take tons of money. It just takes patience and knowledge of what you are shooting.
