2010 - Time to Shoot!

It seems like a long time since I posted the Chicago Marathon! Lately I have been shooting our company's hockey team at 6:00 AM on Tuesday mornings. There are not many things that will get me up at 4:30 AM but photography will. Each Tuesday I have learned a little more about what to do and more importantly, what not to do. The lighting had me going for a while until I found a "Tips for Photographing Hockey" article written by Don Smith, co-team photographer, San Jose Sharks. He has been shooting NHL games for 16 seasons and the tips in his article are a must read. Don Smith Photography

My company has also had me photograph several corporate events and that has been very rewarding.

But most of all, the countdown clock has been started for Bali. I leave for Thailand on the 24th of July and arrive in Denpasar, Bali not later than the 1st of August. We will again be in Ubud at the Agung Raka Bungalows for two weeks of photography. Tewfic El-Sawy, The Travel Photographer, is again leading the trip and I can't wait to be on the road again. I am looking forward to seeing all my friends in Bali.

Here are some of the hockey photos that I like.
