The Last Shot of 2008....

I have had such a great and productive year. I am so looking forward to all of 2009. So i'll end the year with my baby boo "Rudy"

Lighting Info: This shot was taken in front of my glass patio door. I shot it at 1/8 f/4.0 200 ISO i wanted a nice bright wrap of the morning light. my son held a reflector (white tile board) near her for a little added fill. to make sure i did not blow here away.
I shot about 10 of these trying to get the shutter drag thingy. but my god. i had to post this one because i could not get over the Big Brown eyes.
Happy 2009. See ya next year.

 Next, I was called on last Saturday at around 11am to shoot a pro basketball game at 6:30pm.  This iwas my kids pro game.   I am normally use to shooting kids sports which are alot slower.  But i quickly ajusted and got some very cool shots of the players and cheerleaders.  Also to make this personallty sweeter for my my 11 yr. old son was with me court side shooting images and he did a Wonderful job.  I love you Shemar.  He is my future.  So here are some images from that night.

The team is the Southeast Texas Mustangs Men's Basketball, which are members of the ABA.

Thanks to everyone who made it possible for me to shoot this game, i really enjoyed myself and made alot of new friends.
