242/366 Sunrise

"Sunrise"

Went out this morning at sunrise to shoot some Desert Landscapes. I am out in Lancaster California. Which is in the high desert so I thought I would go get some cool backdrops for compositing.

I was a little nervous about snakes. Luckily I didn't encounter any. 

This was a shot with the iPhone. And processed through Cross Process.

"Andy Vincent - WOB"

Hey everyone, I am in LA having a great time. I am trying to get through the last 2 Highland Games, Portland and Enumclaw. That's like 6000 images. This is definitely letting me work out my new Lightroom Workflow. It has a couple kinks that show up in certain rare situations, but otherwise I find it much more efficient. I leave LA on Friday to travel North to Pleasanton California to shoot the 147th Pleasanton Scottish Highland Games.

Should be a really good games. So today's image is of one of the Pro's Andy Vincent. He is also a Strong Man and Former Miami Dolphin, which is my favorite football team.

This is catching the weight at the peak of it's height. This is the point at which the crowd goes from cheering to OOOHHHHHHHHHHH. I do like the clouds in this shot but will be very glad to hopefully have some sunshine for the games this weekend.

Take care and have a great day.

Day 238/366

"Blocking"

Had another fantastic day at the beach, I have to pick certain games that I shoot and then games where I just want to sit and enjoy. This is a match featuring Sean Rosenthal and Jake Gibb. They were 1 of the 2 mens teams representing the US at the olympics. Sean is a local boy and has a huge following. As you can see the weather was perfect, which I miss dearly living in the Pacific Northwest.

Hope you all have a great weekend.

Day 235/366

Chariot

Hanging out at the SeaTac waiting for my flight. My chariot is pulling up to the gate.

Should be an exciting 2+ weeks including some portrait sessions, a Drink and Click Photowalk with +Christi Nielsen. The Northern California Highland Games. This is one of the largest in the country and I get to be out on the field shooting. 😄 and then wrapping the whole thing up with Photoshop World in Las Vegas.

Should be a good time.
