Tennis - Kentucky Wildcats vs. Illinois Fighting Illini

Hate for Atkins Tennis Center = Love for Khan Tennis Complex
The sun, the colors*, and I get the sidelines to myself. I tried to compose more and crop less this time, I believe this is uncropped.

Shot with Nikon D70s, 300mm, f/4

*Colors great not online, thanks blogger :)

Baseball - SIUE Cougars at Illinois Fighting Illini

I spent my evening at the baseball game. The 6:30 start time makes white balancing extremely difficult since the the setting sun transitions into the stadium lights. Add to that shooting with a D2h and you get a lot of time in photoshop afterwards.
Also, Blogger sucks at colors too.

Shot with a Nikon D2H, 80-200mm f/2.8, 1/400, 2.8, 200mm, ISO 1600

Introducing the new $25 bill, the Jackoln, with which you can buy a Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8 from your local Salvation Army.
Joke's on me, I'm going to have to buy two speed lamps to light these close ups, darn!

Fruit of the D70s

I learned so much from this camera in the three years I've been shooting with it. I just wish I could extend it's life, it's sad watching it die (read watching it fall to the ground and have the pop-up flash explode). Here is the Riesenrad in Vienna, Austria.

Baseball - Akron Zips at Illinois Fighting Illini

First baseball game of the year for me. It was absolutely gorgeous out. Going back tomorrow, I'm going to try for more variety of angles.

Alright first post, need to work out the kinks, like these pictures should in reverse order but the internet is forgiving.

Alexi Giannoulias announced Monday he formed an exploratory committee for the Obama/Burris Senate seat, when even that election will be. I smell reprints.
