Shots from the 2009 Ancient City are up on the site.
I was delighted with my results from this show. A few near the end came out a bit overexposed, but that was caused by PEBCAC (Problem Exists Between Chair And Camera).
It’s a shame, though, that the competitor turnout was so low. Stupid recession…
Apropos nothing, isn’t Eos a nice theme? I wonder if I can hack it and port it over to Coppermine…
Shots from the 2009 Mid Florida Muscle Classic, held June 20 in Orlando, have started to make their way on to the site.
Yes, I’m still *very* busy. And if you feel like rating some of the shots, please feel free to do so.

Update 1: 2009-07-09, 18:20: Another 50 shots up. No more tonight, possible a few early in the morning.
Update 2: 2009-07-12, 16:05: Another 75 shots up.
Update 3: 2009-07-12, 21:10: Another batch up. I’ve lost the count, will have to go back and check later that nothing’s missing.
Update 4: 2009-07-12, 23:00: Another smaller batch up.
Update 5: 2009-07-16, 23:58: Last batch up, just in time for the Ancient City day after tomorrow. Oyez.
Somehow either I or someone else deleted most of the files in the Unofficial Six Flags Atlantis Memorial site. I have restored from backup and I apologize for the inconvenience.
Upcoming wedding or no, I did manage to upload a handful of the Six Flags Atlantis construction shots so graciously lent to me by co-developer John Bond.
I was afraid that if I didn’t make a move soon, he’d think I sold them on eBay or something.
More to come, obviously…
Shots from the 2009 Gateway Classic are up on the site.
Lighting wasn’t too bad, though I had to shoot at 1600 and the banners behind the competitors fouled up the white balance again. I also made a boneheaded mistake; I left the autofocus set to “all points” from my last use of the camera instead of a single point, so in several of the shots the autofocus was zeroing either the banner ads on stage (bad but salvageable) or the top of one of the judges’ heads (very very bad).
I really want to push myself so that even in rough lighting conditions I’m keeping more shots than I’m throwing away. I’m not there yet.
Anyway, enjoy. The next show I’m attending is late June, but I hope to have some updates before then. Why “hope”, you say? Well, if anyone didn’t know, I’m getting married (!) next week, which fact may limit the amount of attention I can give this for a month or so.
Sorry about that! My registrar was sending my DNS renewal reminders to an expired email, and my domain went offline over the weekend. Took me a bit to sort it out, but all is well now. Apologies!
