ccpix > February 3, Whooooooa! Rider at the Rolex 3 Day in KY coming out of the saddle. I felt this angle, while unusual, really gave a sense of what it feels like to be in his shoes...mmmmm boots.
ccpix > January 10th, A rider at the "Bit of Brittan" competition in Chicago. I was working to reduce shutter speeds to capture more of the energy of the shot in camera. I thought this shot was a loss because of the lack of focus on the horse but it turned out nicely with focus directed to the rider focusing on her next jump.
ccpix > January 22, One of my favorite barns in the area. It was a bad lighting day so I opted for some softening in pp to shoot for a linen feel...Moderately pleased but snow on the lens gave me a few smudges I need to correct.
ccpix > January 31, Well I made it through my first month on Dallies. It was harder than I though it would be but it has been a great experience so far. Thank you to all who have offered their thoughts and comments. Hearing your encouragement and seeing all the fantastic work displayed in the community has challenged and motivated me to keep plugging away.

Not my best technically but I walked up on this guy unexpectedly as he was grabbing a fish. He then took a victory lap over the river and around the river front skyline. it was very late in the afternoon and a real stretch for my Simga 50mm-500mm f 4-6.3. Only got one usable out of the string of many shots...better than nothing. Thanks again for your inspiration.
ccpix > January 15th, Didn't have time to pick up the camera today so I took a look back through my archives for something I had not worked with yet. I found this little guy. He was a spectator at an air show but you would never know it from the shot...he was completely uninterested in the jets flying overhead. His world was, at that moment, under that straw hat. He put a smile on my face after a long week. I hope he does the same for you.

ccpix > February 1, Went to photograph eagles yesterday but there was only one. Because of the recent warm weather they have already dispersed up and down the river. That is why I was able to catch yesterday's shot of one over the city. I was inspired by Donna's comments yesterday to pull out a shot I did several weeks ago and rework it. This is a composite done in PP but all that was necessary was to eliminate some of the distance between foreground flag and the eagle. The flag is in fact at the top of the cliff side viewing area.
ccpix > January 11, I love Holiday lights...and while these don't exactly say "Merry Christmas", they do say "let's celebrate something". I have always struggled for accurate color reproduction when trying to capture lighting displays but was pleased at the way this turned out. After the Monday I had today, I could also use a cold one!
ccpix > February 2, A beautiful time piece that hangs in the student union of Purdue University. My wife and I glimpsed it countless times as a student trying to be on time for class without noticing its beauty. Now that my daughters pass daily under it, I have come to see it differently.
