Bad Break

+Syracuse Crunch Hockey Club forward Cory Conacher's (89) stick breaks resulting in a weak shot against the Hershey Bears goalie Braden Holtby (1) in the Crunch's #AHL 2012-2013 Home Opener in the War Memorial on Saturday, October 13. Crunch won 4-3.

Here's one from the archives, shot a few months ago in Cornwall (probably the best place to be if you're into seascapes and long exposures). This is Gull Rock, just a little off the coast of Portreath on the north Cornwall coast. This is one of a multitude of images that I've been sitting on for months, trying to figure out how best to treat it. Went in a new direction on this one, not quite sure yet if it's working here. Let me know what you think.

I haven't had much time for photography lately unfortunately. So many things are changing for me with my impending move back to Malaysia. We leave in just under 2 weeks now and packing is in full force. It's amazing how much "junk" you can accumulate without even realizing it! Despite all the stresses and strains, it's a very exciting time right now and I'm grateful for that.

This will probably be my last post for a long while. We are first heading off to California for an extended break, en route to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. All my computer gear is going by sea which means I probably won't "sea" them until at least mid-January (groan, did I really just say that?). Bad puns aside, I will still try to catch up on all of your work every now and then and I hope to see all of you Gplussers again when I return!

So, until then, happy shooting and take care everyone!

Kelly in the Meadow

More from the photoshoot of the fantastic Kelly in Marian Bear Preserve last weekend, along with +Shuwen Lisa Wu  and +Alexander S. Kunz.  So much fun!

Marian Bear Preserve was the first place that I hiked (well more like strolled around; hiking is quite an overstatement for this modest, but pleasant place) after moving to San DIego two years ago (because it was quite close to where I was living then).  It was my first exposure up close to the oak and sycamore groves that line the canyon bottoms.  I noted that day that this would be a terrific place to work with models, teens, or couples, but never actually had that opportunity until last weekend.  I'm so glad that I finally did!

Reflector for fill, driven by the skillful +Alexander S. Kunz.  :)
