Show me some thigh! Uh, on second thought LP, please don’t ;-)

Whole lot of stretching going on in this post.

Usually I try to mix in a bit of everything but it gets long and drawn out by the time I figure out whatI’ve posted and what still needs to be worked on.

This time I’m just taking the brute force approach, going strictly chronologically in the order I took them!

I love seeing the coaches really key in on these kicking shots…I wonder if they have video to break it down after the fact as well (they must!)

Buehler, David

Huddle!

Cape Neddick “Nubble” Lighthouse, in a different light

At first I thought someone leaving their lights on pointed at the lighthouse was a MAJOR annoyance,
but then I realized that it was a sure fire nifty way to shed some light on the subject, quite literally in fact!

Check out this first photo where the entire section of rocks leading to the ocean are lit by someone with their headlights BEAMING for who knows how long.

No moonlight? No problem!

I don’t go in for playing with the plug-ins much (though I loved it when I first discovered photo editing).
But I thought this was a nice way to break out this photo.

Bryant, Dez the star of camp despite only practicing a week!

Williams, Roy, one of the VERY FEW bright spots coming out of the Texans game.

Jones, Felix

Hello Church, Barry – bye Pat Watkins

Donaldson, Herb – practice squad?

Um, yeah, he caught it ;-) Witten, Jason

Ogletree, Kevin – average camp? Seems like he would be making more plays in preseason games but i haven’t seen how many chances he’s gotten either to be fair.

Cape Neddick “Nubble” Light HDR Photos III

Thankfully the lighthouse and buildings had LED string lights on them otherwise it would have been a boring and short night!

When we were there 2 years ago the moon was full and it was awesome!

Moonlight is KEY for shooting at night, at least it makes it a lot easier in certain applications.

No moon for this trip, not even a sliver of light :/

Fun with RAW! This is the same image but +2 exposure with the RAW editor.

MORE noisy than I would have liked/thought so I also applied a little noise reduction.

Amazing what you can do with RAW files though!

Wow, I really wish I would have tried more of these I love how it came out {image on the right}.

This was the only one I shot though.

Probably didn’t take the time to do more since the regular exposure took forever at times.

Told you it was dark! No moon = no fun!

More RAW pushing, also +2.

Cape Neddick “Nubble” Light HDR Photos II

I love this one for several reasons, the colors and the bend of the 8mmFE!
Thanks again Andy for letting me borrow it!

This first one of the last 3 here is the only true HDR’s. The other two are a combination of two exposures; namely the lights from the light house.
I would have liked to have done some HDR work with them but there simply was not enough light!
