I can't believe it's been well over a year since I last posted here! I guess I kinda got burned out on Photography for a while so I took a long break. I still shot pictures, but the self-inflicted grind of shooting, editing and posting something every single day took it's toll, and I only did it for 100 days straight (whereas some do a picture a day for a whole year)!
Well, this year I have decided to set some New Years Resolutions, and one of them was to start using the camera and PhotoShop again. In my wisdom as an older and hopefully wiser person I decided that with all the other things I am trying to accomplish this year I should restrict myself to a Picture A Week project. So once a week, I plan to post up an image that I shot that week, and edited with PhotoShop. I am hoping to sharpen my skills once again so I can be a better photographer and PhotoShop editor.
This week we had Cameron's first Basketball game of the season with Upward. Another thing different this time around is that I am not coaching. I get to enjoy the game as a parent and that gave me the opportunity to shoot pictures as well. Shooting in a gymnasium is very tricky and the images are very challenging. This was a nice shot I happened to catch just as Cameron put up a shot. I love that I caught him as his feet left the ground so he is in mid-air. Cameron's team won their first game and Cameron made one of the 8 baskets which was very cool!
Shot spex: RAW Image, Pentax K10D, ISO 1600, 82mm, f4.5, 1/90 sec., no flash.
PhotoShop spex: Smart Sharpened, cropped, adjusted Contrast and Brightness.
Tunes listened to while editing: nothing today, unless you count listening to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows unabridged Book on "tape".
