Holy Cow, what a weekend!

Just a quick note to let you know what I am working on.  This weekend was super busy.  I was given the chance to experiment with some Sports photography when the NOVA Roller Derby asked me to come and shoot their first match on Saturday!  I was super excited and also a little nervous since this was my first real shot at trying Sports Photography.  As I have learned, it’s a whole different beast from artistic or even portrait or posed photography.  Action is fast and you have to act to get the shot you want.  It certainly shed some light on some areas I need to improve on with my skill level (and some gear).  I ended up with roughly 1200 shots that need to be gone through and pull out the best of the best.  

As soon as the derby was finished I had to head down south to meet up with my friends Louis and Jen as they get ready for their wedding on Sunday!  We hung out the night before the wedding until late and then it was a full day on Sunday (for all of us, but them mostly).  I was not the prime Photographer for the wedding and was incredibly glad for that.  I really enjoyed the actual wedding and not stressing over getting the right shot.  I did, however, take a lot of Candid shots.  (About 350 before sorting).  The Wedding was amazing and we had a blast.  

So there we are, late Sunday night and I have about 1500 photos to sort through and the process the best.  I am totally exhausted.  I promise I will start working on photos tomorrow.

Busy weekend

This weekend was pretty damn packed!  Spent some time with Louis and Jen helping them move.  It was practically just across the street but still managed to smash my face on a box, rack my knee on the concrete and jam my thumb to the point where it flipped the nail up.  Came home and finished up adding the divider to Sarah’s planter so she could finish up her herb garden.  We also had a small visitor emerge from his cocoon.  The butterfly from the previous post got some garden time before taking off (or being eaten by a bird, we aren’t too sure about what happened with him, but we will hope for the best.)

Battered and accomplished I set in for some Portal 2 time.  I will do my best to get a full review of it up sometime after I finish the single player and start in on Co-Op (and whenever I can stop laughing!).

Sunday I managed to replace the kitchen sink disposal too!  Thankfully Lowes was open and had a great plumbing expert on hand!  Install of the new one was done in about an hour and they were an awesome help, despite the kludge that is my kitchen sink plumbing.

All in all, a very fulfilling weekend!
