2011 Miss Allegan County and Miss Allegan County Outstanding Teen

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Since I was given the opportunity to do head shots for 2010′s Miss Allegan County I was asked to shoot the 2011 Miss Allegan County and Miss Allegan County Outstanding Teen Pagaent  this past weekend.  Fortunately I went to Friday’s rehearsal to scope out the venue some more cause on Friday they used the spot light for rehearsal and I was able to grab more pictures than at the actual pageant..  Unfortunately the lighting on stage was some of the worse lighting I’ve ever seen.  Plus the decision was made to not use the spotlight for the actual pageant so my fighting chance at decent pictures without a flash were drastically reduced.  Despite the lighting situation the show went off without any major hitches and two great young ladies were crowed Miss Allegan and Miss Allegan County Outstanding Teen for 2011.

Red Barn Spectacular – WOW!

Wednesday, August 11th, 2010

Where was I at August 7th, 2010?….at the Red Barn Spectacular at the Gilmore Car Museum.  Classic cars (and more recent as well) as far as the eye can see.  Cars I’ve never even seen or heard of.  Muscle cars that would make you teeth chatter.  What is a guy with a camera to do?  Shoot until you can’t move a muscle.  A fellow car lover and photographer and I braved the masses at the 30th Annual Show.  I don’t know the official count but the numbers on the entry forms posted in the cars were over 600 and that didn’t include the Judged cars.  For 3 hours we walked amongst the magnificent steel beasts trying to find those details that make “THAT” car the car it is.  From the tail lights of a 59 Caddy to the grill of a 1950′s GMC COE.  Here are some of my favorites from this weekend.  Hope you enjoy!

Another one of those harsh sunlight days.   Long jump on this field was tough shooting right into the sun.

Plainwell Middle School Track

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010

Why is it that all our track meets seem to be on sunny days?  Is it too much to ask for an overcast day?  When I am not shooting my daughter’s events I like to wander around and see what else I can capture.  He are some images from Plainwell Middle Schools recent 3 team track meet; Plainwell, Gull Lake and South Haven.   The rest of the images from that meet or from any other track meet this season, follow this link.

I spy the Moon……..oh wait is that dust on the lens?

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

No, that’s Jupiter.  It wasn’t until I was in looking at my photos on the screen that I realized there was a star up there too.  So after some digging I found out it was Jupiter.

From Abrahm’s Planetarium Night Sky Notes:

Sunday, January 17, 2010
The thin crescent Moon is to the lower right of Jupiter. Look for the pair in the WSW at dusk. Jupiter is shining bright at -2nd magnitude. Neptune, at 8th magnitude, is to the lower left of the Moon, but requires a telescope to be seen.
