I had a few minutes to kill last week so I stopped by the former Mountain Lumber Co. Madison facility…..previously the Madison Flooring Co., and took a few photos.  I seem to be attracted to places that are getting “reclaimed” by nature.  Here are a few of the photos…..

A little something different than the typical T&I (team and individual).  And since this was a bit closer to a portrait shoot rather than strictly sports, I’ll post here also.

Normally there’s this big rush to get all the individuals and teams photographed so they have time to warm up before their games….shoot four teams in 45 minutes or so….etc.  This was better :-)  We took our time, did some different poses/looks for each of the kids, and same for team pictures.  GREAT group of kids to work with!!!!  (click the photo below to see the gallery)  I did the collage below so I’d have an image to post rather than try to pick a favorite image…..and I think this collage is my favorite…..

 

Outlaws-2013

Almost seems like you can go out almost any evening and find a nice sunset photo around here 🙂

Some geese flying north….south….they seemed to be as confused as we are about what the weather’s going to be.

Oh what fun!  Those two hours went by like 2 minutes!  You can click either of the photos below to go to the gallery.  I’ve separated the “Formal” photos, and the “Candid” photos.  Thanks to Jennifer Campbell for taking some of the candids.  She got some great photos!  I was swamped taking the formals, but I just had a blast with the kids!  🙂

If you were there, you should have gotten the password to the gallery.  (Note:  the letters in the password are all lower case).  I WILL NOT give out the password.  Contact another parent or the school if you don’t have it.

For any size print that you order, until March 1, I will also send you a FREE Facebook sized digital image of that photo.  You’re welcome to share it on Facebook, or any social media, keep it on your phone, send it to grandparents, etc.  However, it will be too small to print well, so if you try to print it, and it looks bad, no complaining! 😉

It’s been a while since I’ve updated.   Sorry about that.  These are from a walk in the woods a few weeks ago.   Exposed for the highlights rather than letting the camera meter just average everything out…..and blow out the highlights.

Just one photo in this post, but I think this one can stand on its own.  It was taken at the end of the girl’s cross country race yesterday as one of the last girls came through.  I shot three frames, but liked this one best because you can see her pony tail 🙂  It was cloudy for most of the meet, but the sun would poke through from time to time, projecting those cool light beams.  For me, the photo is SO much more interesting because of the runner, no matter how small she is in the frame.
