action

You would get a...? I've been thinking about doing this so I can capture some video while shooting races. I know nothing about action cams so am looking for some ideas. This will be a test, I don't want to spend a lot in case it turns into a boondoggle, <$200 if possible. If it turns out to be...

Last night, I went to the school where Linda and I photographed football for their district playoff game against a cross-town rival. The Grizzlies are the team we photographed, and I still do as much as I can. When I appear on the sidelines pulling my folding red wagon, the players come up to me...

As title although we were in a rush I managed a few shots of these guys and they were good

A very sticky, fast track! People walking out of their shoes, one guy pulled the sole right off his boot! But it also causes trouble for the tuners. We had a high of 63° F with a sun/cloud mix, and humidity with an air density altitude below 1000', the lowest it's been in a while. The track was...

HEMA (European Martial Arts) tournament from yesterday. 2 divisions, sword and buckler and longsword. Sword and Buckler 1 2 3 4 5 - since this was their inaugural / opening tournament (this is a newly formed fencing club), instead of medals, they made the awards out of bottle openers...

Barrel Racing / Cutting it close for the win !!

In the winter, three men in a pickup drove up to a brass statue that was on it's pedestal at League 42. This league is the one that my wife and I photographed as volunteers for 11 years, from day one. Major League Baseball donated 100,000 dollars for the replacement and luckily the molds were...

At least he's being honest! DSC03915 by Shotglass Photo, on Flickr

The Harrow Vinduro was held last weekend, drawing over 200 entrants from around southern Australia. Dry winter conditions made for freezing nights and sunny days, and the traditionally challenging water crossing finale was handled with ease, compared with previous years. I didn't have as much...

Our local Medieval Festival. Last time I went was in 2018. It's supposed to run every second year but Covid slowed that down. Finally back. Jousters from all over the world. I could post a hundred joust shots. It was fun. Parts flying

The second annual Night of Fire at Milan Dragway. There was racing, but Night of Fire is about the spectacle and exhibition. The name speaks for itself. DSC02582 by Shotglass Photo, on Flickr DSC03188-ARW_DxO_DeepPRIME by Shotglass Photo, on Flickr DSC03521-ARW_DxO_DeepPRIME by Shotglass...

A couple of my early images of one of the local Roller Derby teams.

Something new for me. Milan Dragway is hosting a Mud Bash this weekend. I went out this afternoon to get the lay of the land before the competition tomorrow. They have a short sand drag track set up along with the mud pit, which looks to be a few acres. DSC08955 by Shotglass Photo, on Flickr...

This morning I got up early, took my meds, and headed to the League 42 baseball fields. League 42 is a baseball league for players from 5-14 years of age going from t-ball to intense veteran baseball. Both boys and girls play and over the 11 years I have been with the league (since start up)...

Out trolling for the Big one.:)

Some longer exposure panning shots I grabbed last week. Played with a few methods…vertical and horizontal pans, twists, stepping backwards, etc.

I brag a bunch about the inner city baseball league Linda and I were volunteers from the 2nd meeting planning a league. Our mission was to have this family and area-oriented and to make it as cheap as possible for kids to play. We started meetings 11 years ago and our first rules were it was...

Custom DxO Filmpack 7 preset based on Kodak T-Max 3200 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

DxO Filmpack 7 custom preset based off of Kodak T-Max 3200. Had a bit of an issue with access to cage-side this year, so had to shoot from the general admission section and a long lens. Not quite what I had hoped for but as the saying goes, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade! 1 2 3...

Yes, it is what you think it is. Points scored by clean hits the the head and torso. 1 - kids division 2 3 4 5 - adults division 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

Originating in Russia, this sport's rules are relatively simple. Pull the stick from your opponents hand, pull them over to your side of the board, pull the opponent so that both feet come off the board. Created a custom preset in DxO Filmpack 7 starting off with Kodak T-Max 3200 as the base...

Hi, I would like to introduce myself briefly: I come from Austria and my great passions are motorsport and photography. That's why I attend various motorsport events every year as often as I can, for example the Members Meeting and the Festival of Speed in Goodwood, races in the GT Open Series...

Good Morning, A few shots of my schools' team for this season, with a mix of new freshmen and returning seniors. Trying out some new lenses purchased this year in the marginal lighting that their private training facility needs to update...:rolleyes: Regards, Edd

My middle grandgirl is in the 7th grade, 13 YO, and almost 6' tall. She is number 15 and a fierce competitor. My son, her dad, is 6'5", while I'm 6'. They live a couple of hours away so I have to pick and choose games to see. A few shots from last night.

I decided to get off my rear and go to the basketball game at the school Linda and I shot football. They were not good in basketball and got blown out by perennial power Heights. I was good to see my football boys cheering the team on. It did me good to get out and see and talk to my old...

I know the HS season is wrapping up but I'm sure we have a few VB shooters here with something to show. FWIW I tend to spend the first game next to the scorer's table shooting mostly the back row, the second on the other side (again shooting mostly the back row) and the third shooting through...

Having searched as best I can, I cannot see a thread assigned to the premier game of the commonwealth. So as the season starts this weekend, I'll start with a post.

Last night, I went to watch a good friend race in the Ellensburg Cowboy Cross. I took the camera, with the intention of experimenting with motion blur, figuring out how to photograph high speed motion in low light and bright stadium light situations. I'm learning as I go, and after taking more...

This troupe was fun to photograph, and I tried to both freeze and blur the action.

Good Afternoon, My high school team during a "flying warm-up" just for the photographer; even the coach was impressed...:) Regards, Edd

Friday nights during the fall have meant football. Even without my shooting partner, my wife, I went and did the best I could. I hope she would be proud of my effort. She always was a better photographer!

On Monday, my sweet wife Linda Gregory was on the field as always photographing "her boys" at Northwest High School in their football actions as she has done for the past 9 years. She was hit trying to get out of the way by two football players in full gear and she was knocked to the ground and...

Under the Sports header I looked for a thread about Golf. I found just about every sport, including Dog Surfing, but no Golf. So, here's some golf. This set is actually my first foray into golf documentary and was achieved between bites of a Panko encrusted Whitefish sandwich with fries while I...

I stopped by my favorite corner at the Tour of Somerville bicycle race (the oldest bicycle race in the country, I beleive). I've taken some good photos from this corner, like this one several years ago. This time, I shot more video and captured this photographer leaning in a little close...

Last London Marathon for Mo Farah, London 2023. Sony A7iv/35mm f/1.8 lens

11 years ago, my wife and I answered a call to help form an inner-city baseball league that would be affordable, would make the kids feel proud of themselves, and furnish the best equipment, coaches, umpires, and facilities. We walked the inner city area and were lucky to sign up 100 that first...

Ay Hollywood Casino Event Center in Columbus, Ohio. Let no one tell you that the Nikon Z6 or Z fc are incapable of capturing sports. Are they the optimal cameras? No, but are capable. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 More to come!

Good Evening, The school I teach at had a game against the high school I graduated from 53 years ago. A complete redo of the facility had been done at some point along with updated banners hanging from above, but still showing my teams State Championship from that far away time...:) By the end...

Good Evening, This marked the end of the season for my school team; sad to see it end. Several of the members will be continuing on college teams in the fall in Division II and III. I hope that the entering freshman can help to fill the gap that each of these young women create by moving on to...

Good Evening, Another Sunday afternoon in one of the local private venues that hosted local high school teams from RI. Got to use my new (to me) 1DX Mark II along with the R7; it was a great combo to cover the four stations along with each schools team rotations. Regards, Edd

Good Evening, First shots using my new-to-me Canon 1DX Mark II; I bit the bullet and got it today. I cleared all the settings, but I forgot about the copywrite info (my alias is not Kim...:)). The team photo wasn't planned; their yearbook photographer never showed, so I helped the coach and the...

Good Evening, Some photos from a combined meet among seven high schools. I got to use the Canon R7 again with the Sigma 50-100mm f1.8 and the Canon 7D Mark II with my now fixed EF 24-70mm f2.8 L lens. My image processing station was chugging all night on the original RAW files, a bit over 4000...
