At the first of May, I had the opportunity to go to Alaska as part of a group of photographers aboard the National Geographic Seabird.
Since it is so hot in Texas, I am taking the time to begin the process of going through my many images of Alaska.
Being from Texas, I had never taken pictures from the bow of a ship. It was a learning experience for me! So many of my pictures are blurred from the movement of the ship not being in sync with the movement of my camera!
One of the most extraordinary experiences I had was taking a sea plane over the Le Conte Glacier. Wow. It was an amazing experience.
Friday night at the Wolfe City Rodeo was awesome! My intent was to try and capture some images using a very slow shutter speed showing lots of movement. I don't know if you've ever seen some of the rodeo pictures that Vaughn Wascovich has taken using this technique or not but they are candy to the eye. I didn't quite get the images that I was hoping for but I feel as if I learned a lot.
What a show the Kueckelhan Ranch Rodeo put on Friday night! The Kueckelhan Ranch is north of Bonham, Texas on US 78. It was over 100 degrees when we got there but a cool breeze soon cooled things off.
My intent for the evening was to try and do what one of my photography teachers did when he photographed rodeos last year. Vaughn Wascovich has some really nice photographs using a slow shutter speed. His shots are fantastic. Mine look like mistakes. You can never truly appreciate how hard something is until you try to do it yourself.
