Road Trips = Road Time = Sunsets

Well I just can’t help but look to the sunsets now days and wonder what’s in store.  Being on the road a little helps to satisfy that wonder and here are a few cool sun shots from the road over the last week.

Child Model Photoshoot – Levelland TX

Well this is something you will be seeing more of in the near future.  This of course is my son Court 3yrs old…in an outfit provided by a local children clothing outlet.  We will actually be setting up a kids open session very soon that the public will be able to come to and get some really cool shots of your kids.  Keep looking for more info on that coming soon.

Team Photo Shoots

I just wanted to put this information out in internet land about some of the Team Profile Photo Shoots I have been doing.  For each session I do I will place a gallery online in the sports gallery for 2010 in the specific Team Profile Photo Shoots category.

If you needed more copies and wanted to send far off family links to see your kids this is the place to do it.

Hulse Family Portraits 2009 Sundown Texas

Ya’ know things aren’t always so black and white with me to often because I’m such a colorful guy!

…lol

Everything about this family just seemed to fit a classic western warm black and white so that is where I ended up with my favorite look for the Husle’s being at.

Thanks folks for being so patient with me.

Well my son Cade and I are in Lubbock the other day as he was helping me do a family and senior portrait session.  He wanted to spend some more time with daddy so his help came in the form of being a self portable bi-pod.  In between session we came around the corner of Slide and the Loop and had to stop for what we saw.

Levelland ISD Basketball Invitational 2009 – Championship Game Levelland vs. El Paso Irvin 12-05-09

EPIC…is the best most powerful word I can find to describe this game If you were there then you know what I mean as both teams were fantastic and the results into overtime proved it.  Big congrats to the Loboettes for pulling this one out on top.

The gallery is in the sports section with about 700 shots and each image is both in color and one of my favorite black and white treatments.  I felt this game needed a little extra attention…so I gave it some.

Levelland Basketball Invitational 2009 Day 01

From what I have been able to watch so far the action has been nonstop.  A huge upset for Horizon over Godly.  Just amazing to see this one unfold….Horizon is 5 down with 45 seconds in the game and with nothing more than pure determination they pull it off with with two buckets the last  2 pointer at the 1.4 second mark in the game on clock and get a foul on the play to put #14 in the hot seat with 1 free throw.  She nailed it…game over.

Levelland dominated Bel Air with a 20 point gap…no one on the Loboettes looked like they broke a sweat.

In the gallery system under basketball I have Godly vs. Horizon and Levelland vs. Bel Air just look for the Levelland Invitational.

6 Man Football Qtr Final Playoffs Borden County vs. Sands at Lubbock 11-28-09

Amazing talent and determination with a relentless drive to win was easily seen on both teams clearly.  Borden however is just a well oiled machine geared to dominate…and they did.  Sands never gave up you could see that in their eyes but their will just couldn’t overcome Bordens drive.

In the sports section of the gallery under football and 6 man I have placed 388 images from this game.

A few highlights:

6 Man Football Playoffs Motley County vs. Miami in Silverton 11-27-09

First of all I have to say that this was a challenging stadium as the lights were defiantly on the low end of the scale which has made these photos on an average fall bellow my usual standards on quality. The low light makes it very difficult to get nice clean shots consistently especially with my ISO averaging about 12,800 most of the night…you photogs will appreciate that.  So to say the least the photos are a little grainy and the crops are not as tight as usual…this just couldn’t be helped.

My trek to Silverton which was a 260 mile round trip for me was my first venture into 6 Man Football.  Man was I tired!  These two teams were insatiable with their appetites for scoring and needless the say the action was non-stop.

Unfortunately with my time spent on the field I was able to take about 1400 shots only to have 556 images left after my first run through in edits…but hey something is better than nothing right…especially for a 1/4 Final 6 Man Championship Football Game.

Find your way over to the gallery and look in the sports section and then football.  I’ve added a 6 Man category to football so it’s gonna be pretty easy to find.

Playoff Football Littlefield vs. Riverroad in Plainview 11-20-09

littlefield-riverroad-11-21-09-7305

This was a hardcore game all the way down to the last 6 seconds and the last long bomb pass into the end zone.  I am amazed at the talents on both of these teams…guess that’s what they were both in the Playoffs.  I took about 700 shots and knock it down after edits to about 350.  The game gallery is located in the sports section of the gallery under football in the 2009 gallery…

The Midland Invitational Swim Meet – Diving – 2009 11-6-09

As a freelance photographer I am always for hire and support my family with my camera please see my prices or contact me directly to schedule a sports or personal session.

My coverage of the Invitational began Friday with diving.  They had some really great athletes show up from all over Texas  with some incredible talent and control exhibited.  I was able to capture most of the dives and have place them in the gallery system under the Sports section connected with Swim Meets with 2 galleries containing about 750 photographs each.

Just a note: 90% of the photos in the galleries are not edited.  Unlike the photos in this post I have not edited the gallery photos at all.  So expect them to look even better upon ordering.

Note number 2: With the large number of photos in each gallery if you don’t have a fast connection be patient with it as the gallery may not work smoothly until everything has loaded fully.  You can also turn the music off to help just click the moving bars and press stop.

Big thanks goes out to the Bulldogs Booster Club for their hospitality and extending me the opportunity to be here for the event.  The race coverage for Saturday will post in a later topic.

Enjoy these little high lights from the diving.

Thanks for the text Jobeth – Fall Trees and Morning Fog in Sundown Tx 2009

My wife tells me a got a text this morning from a friend of ours talking about the low fog tipping the tops of rigs and a full moon still being out.  Well I missed the rigs and took some shots at the Sundown Golf Course in place.  With a little Photoshop assistance and about an hour of time here is your end results for the fall trees and low level fog.  It could have been better if I had been up earlier…but that would be more amazing than the photographs themselves.
