The Weekly Photo

Canoe racing. I went out yesterday in hopes of getting a blazing sunset, so I only took a 16-35mm wide angle zoom. This image is extremely cropped.

Found this kid's rodeo in February of this year. We had originally headed up to the summit to play/photograph in the snow, but the road was closed.

The press booth at Petco park San Diego, pregame. Taken with a Sony DSC-230 many innings ago.

I don't take very many sports photos. Last week someone mentioned this event in San Diego and I told her that I would send her the photo, so I just happened to have it on my desktop.

I had a friend who covered the Oakland Athletics for the Tribune. He gave me some of his prints from Panatomic X film. I think that is the look I was going.

Nice to see a different perspective.
 
Pleasure Point, Santa Cruz. A billion points of dazzling light. On one of these days when it's so bright, I sunburned my eyes.

This was originally taken with an Asahi Pentax Spotmatic some time in late June/ early July 1987. Probably with a 50mm f/1.4 lens (maybe the 70mm we had), probably with Fuji 400 ASA film (maybe with 200). I don't remember, and the negs are buried away somewhere. I didn't write down the exposure values, and the meter in the camera never worked anyways, so exposure was done by guessing with the depth of field preview always on. Image is from a canoe looking up one the the lakes in Bowron Lakes Provincial Park, B.C., Canada. It was an unforgettable trip. Unfortunately, the print has some slight ripples that show up in a photo, but are not too bad in reality. These are the light vertical streaks. And I'm not very proficient with the Nikon photo editing program, so it's not super straight. All I've done is color correct the white balance.

Nice image. Great that you printed it out. Too many images these days get taken and just disappear. I try and print my favorites, then give them away. Then there is a record somewhere and it's appreciated.
