The Volleyball Player
While photographing the players from my 12U baseball team last weekend, the sister of one of my players asked if she could have her portrait made.

Critique Critique - Posing Rosie
There was a little patch of light, deep in the shadows under the trees.
I waited. I am not a patient man, but with a camera in hand waiting is easy.
A mature Rosie walked into the light, and stopped to bathe and preen.
A foot to either side- no picture.
One of many poses.
Then she flew off, light was still there but no more players.
I rarely print in color, but black and white does not do this justice.

Super Sebring - Endurance Racing in Florida
Last weekend I took some time off work and traveled down to "beautiful" Sebring, Florida (for anyone that's been to Sebring, you know why I put beautiful in quotation marks). The town is pretty much known for one thing and one thing only: a world famous sports car race that takes place in March every year. This was my first time attending the event and I was not disappointed, as fans were given a double-dose of endurance racing.
While the race weekend typically consists of a single, 12-hour endurance race on Saturday, this year there was an 8-hour race put on by another series on Friday evening. While the weather was hot (85ºF) and sunny for the majority of the weekend, Saturday started started out with some pretty heavy rains. Fortunately the rains eventually cleared and the sun came out, but while the rain was around it provided for some great photo opportunities.
While I did take my Z6 with me, most of the images were shot with my D500's and a 300/2.8, 70-200/2.8, and 16-80. The D500 continues to prove its worth as an incredible sports and action camera, and the Z6 wasn't too bad either. I had a great time at the race, and am definitely planning on going back next year! I've included a selection of my favorite images from the weekend below, but the full gallery of images can be viewed here.

Snowy Owl Flying Low
Last winter the guide on my snowy owl trip showed me a photo he'd captured of a bird flying so low it was just skimming the ground. It was an awesome shot and set a goal for me for the trip. It's fairly typical behavior but like most things a guy has to be in the right spot at the right time. And then not screw it up. I did manage to capture a couple of low flyers over the course of the week. Here's one of them. How cold was it? Check out the hoarfrost on the bird's breast feathers.
The shot needed a good bit of processing to pull out the feather detail and I just got around to reworking it.
D500/AF-S 80-400@330mm, handheld
1/1600s, f5.6, ISO800
