We were training yesterday... Near the centre of Warrington over the blue bridge. I took some crappy pics with my ixus, nothing particularly inspiring. Anyway I managed to find a pc with a copy of photomatix, and just did 3 slightly different versions of a pic and put it through the hdr/tone mapping process. It's not HDR cos obviously I only have a single shot, but I like the effect anyway... Ho hum Will try a proper one soon when I can get out with my 350d and a tripod.
One of the things I discovered that I really liked about my first experience photographing birds, and especially birds in flight, was reviewing photos of flocks of flying birds and finding interesting patterns or formations or "stories" within those random flocks. That is, sometimes really fun or amazing, even artistic groupings occurred when I would crop in on a few of the randomly arranged birds I had captured in the wider frame of the shot. In this case the original frame had nine snow geese in total, with eight of them more or less in a line and one flying just above that line. But when I cropped it in to just these four, it immediately reminded me of a military basic training drill, with a drill instructor (the top bird) squawking orders to the "marching" cadets. In the larger frame with more birds, the formation was not as tight and top bird's open bill was less noticeable because it was so much smaller. Not sure if the "basic training" metaphor works for everybody, but it sure did for me!
This shot was taken in the Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuge.

Hopefully we can all pass along what we have learned on to others ... that is after all what makes a stronger civilization moving forwards.
A couple of my uncles have started a baseball training clinic and asked me take some captures of them in action and training so that could use on their website. So on a very cold rain and sleeting Sunday morning here in Maryland I made my way to their facility indoors where the training takes place.
These were the easy warm up captures ... once balls started flying it was a but scary ... for me and the cameras.
I liked this capture here with the expression on the youngster there as my uncle was explaining some of the finer points of baseball. With the indoor lighting, taking the cameras to their higher ISO capabilities was a must. This was captured at ISO 8000.

In the heart of the Ninjago Training Grounds, Master Wu commended Kai for completing a rigorous training phase.
Sweating but determined, Kai bowed to his sensei. In a symbolic gesture, Master Wu presented him with the Ember Blade, a katana with a sleek, polished blade and a handle adorned in shimmering gold.
"The Ember Blade is a symbol of your growth," Master Wu explained. "May it aid you in your journey."

My son Jason and I at spring training at the Padres/Mariners Peoria, Az. stadium. The Rangers were playing the Padres. 33 hits and 22 runs in this game, what a game. Unfortunately the Ranges lost.

Nothing like a 3-ship formation to end your private flight training. Full disclosure, this was the instructors flying!
Summer 2004.
Now I am back home.
This picture was taken in Omiya, in the Saitama Prefecture. It shows a girl who trains for the Taiko Contest.
Last sunday there was the Taiko Contest of Japan's Highschool Students. I supported the Kawanenhoncho Junior Team. 46 teams from throughout Japan participated. Fifteen prizes were awarded. I hoped my favourite team would make it in the top 5! They won nothing. Even though I don't understand many things about Taiko drumming I have to say that there performance wasn't maybe the best, but certainly one of the best. Neither I nor anyone in the team or some other spectators did know, why the jury made such a "strange" decision.
I hope very much, that they will win soon! (Next year or the year after it, maybe!)
