09-02-12 Camera Blur

I know enough about sports photography to know that this is no "money shot" because there is way too much blur. I'll leave sports photography to the sports pros.But I also know that if it's done right, blur can add a sense of motion and action to a photo and I think this photo is a good illustration of that. So, while this photo would never make the sports pages, it does make my blog. :-)For those who care, Watertown won the game. (1996 KiYi Days)Canon 5D 1/80s f/2.8 ISO1000 200mm

03-17-10 Fanaticism

"Fan" is derived from "fanatic" and maybe these guys serve as a good illustration. what else would make you paint yourselves like this?

This is another photo from the 2008 WHS homecoming ritual. The interesting thing about these guys is that when they got to the football stadium, they were barred from the event because a new South Dakota High School Activities Association rule requires all spectators to wear shirts at state-sponsored events. To circumvent the rule, they put on white t-shirts that were cut in such a way that allowed the letters to show through - a true loophole. Check out the shirts here (click).
