The Iditarod is something that makes me so proud to be an Alaskan - I never get tired of watching the dogs or wondering about life on the trail during the race - I wish I could have tried it. I took these photos at the Ceremonial Start - it is held the day before the race actually starts and is more of a party atmosphere to celebrate and honor the mushers and dogs. The race starts in downtown Anchorage and winds through the woods for a bit before the mushes pick up and head to Willow for the real start. I love to shoot out in the woods, away from the crowds. The mushers look so relaxed, the dogs look happy, and life is good.
I took these photos on 2 March 2013 near Goose Lake, Anchorage, Alaska.

From the very beginning of the show...
Tutorial Tuesday – Concert Photography
Before we start the tutorial, I should finish my story about how I got into the Pumpkins’ sold out show in the first place. Ebay? Nope. Craig’s List? Try again. Stub Hub. Not a chance. Scalper? Couldn’t find any.
I was at home, roughly 50 miles from the venue, Ovations at Wild Horse Pass, and feeling sorry for my self. Someone on Twitter said I could sit at home and wonder if I would get in or I could drive down there and find out. My wife literally pushed me out the door, and I was off. After stopping for gas and cash, I proceeded to set the North American land speed record so I wouldn’t miss the entire opening act, “OK Go”.
As mentioned above, I couldn’t find any scalpers… anywhere. I was beginning to get that feeling that I just drove all this way like a maniac for nothing. Then I saw the Ticket window and there wasn’t anyone in line (go figure for a sold out show, right?). I walked up and asked if by some chance there were any single tickets available. The ticket salesperson looked left and right, and said “Why yes, we do.” “How much” I asked. “Merry Christmas, you are going to love the seat” she said and passed the ticket through the window. I must have had a stupid look on my face because she said I better take it and walk away before she changes her mind. Still somewhat in disbelief I grabbed the ticket.
Once inside I see that Ovations is very small and discover it only seats 1400. Intimate. I ask for directions and I am pointed in the direction of the stage. Sweet. 6th row? Nice. Aisle seat right next to the sound and lighting boards? Perfect.
So, I went from sitting on my duff at home and sulking to being in the 6th row, center right and in the aisle for my favorite band. I sat down just in time to hear OK Go do an amazing version of “This Too Shall Pass” with lots of crowd participation. It was going to be a good night…
On to the tutorial…
There are many awesome concert photographers, Jared Polin and Zack Arias come to mind, and they will have much more in depth information and have a much larger body of work. I am going to provide a tutorial from the “fan bringing in camera” perspective as opposed to the “band hired me to shoot the show” perspective. As an initial starting point, you need to know how to change ISO, metering mode, shutter speed, aperture, and shooting modes on your camera on the fly. You don’t want to be fumbling with your camera trying to find a particular menu as the band rocks on and you are missing shots. Also, shoot RAW. You want to have white balance and exposure flexibility in post.
First, you need fast glass; 2.8 or lower is a must. You are going to be in low light conditions and need to hit in excess of 1/100 of a second at a minimum to freeze motion. I went with my 50mm 1.8 for two reasons. One it is my fastest lens, and two it is small. I didn’t want to come in with my 28-75 2.8 and risk not getting in because they mistook me for a professional based on lens size. If you use a lens hood, put it on backwards to help minimize the apparent size of the lens.
Second, set your ISO as high as you can comfortably get away with knowing you are going to do NR in post production. I went with ISO 2000 at the start, dropped to 1600 after a bit and finally settled in between 400 and 800 depending on the lights for that particular song. If your camera has a variable mode you can use that as well. In this mode you specify your minimum shutter speed and the camera will try and get that speed by lower aperture first, and then increasing ISO to a pre set maximum.
Third, change your camera to spot metering mode. Some folks will say to use matrix mode, but I rarely get decent results this way. My thought is that with all the lighting variables on stage at a rock concert I want my subject, typically one of the musicians, to be properly exposed with the remainder of the stage being a secondary concern. Flash is almost always useless, plus you can get into trouble and asked to leave or stop taking pics.
Fourth, put your camera in Shutter Priority mode. As mentioned above, I am most concerned with a quick enough shutter speed to freeze motion. Aperture and DOF is a secondary concern to me for the most part. I went with a speed somewhere between 1/100 and 1/250.
Finally, switch your release mode to high speed continuous or burst. You want to be able to lock focus and take a burst of 3 to 5 pics at a time. This will help ensure you have a properly exposed and sharp photo.
Now you have your base settings. These will need to be tweaked slightly depending on your venue and how it was lit. Shoot away in your mini bursts and don’t forget to rock out. After all, you came to the show to rock in the first place right?

KMP's are skill building exercises advised by Kevin Macpherson in his book Fill Your Oil Paintings with Light & Color. I started these in 2007 and am continuing with variations in palette in 2010. Quite a few I take forward immediately instead of leaving them at the start stage. If you want to know more about this set of exercises click here.
Whitehall and Trafalgar Square, London, United Kingdom, Saturday 18 January 2025.
A line of Met Police vans from all over the UK awaits along Whitehall, while kettling is in progress at Trafalgar Square, during the 23rd national demonstration for Palestine.
The plaque on the last van indicates that it's from South Yorkshire.
The Nelson's Column can be seen in the background.
The original agreement between the Met Police and Palestine Solidarity Campaign, the main organisers of the demonstration, was that the 23rd march would start from Portland Place and end at Whitehall.
Two of the previous marches also started at Portland Place, where the BBC headquarters are located.
A few days before this 23rd march however, the Met Police backtracked on the agreement and declared an exclusion zone around Portland Place.
Subsequently, the march was further restricted into a static demonstration, constrained to Whitehall, which is about 1.5 miles (2.5 kilometres) away from the BBC headquarters.
After the demonstrators moved from Whitehall to Trafalgar Square the kettling and arrests started.
"This is what the rest of the world may see more and more of the United Kingdom, while British citizens may never again be allowed to protest against censorship and propaganda outside the BBC headquarters."
- Merton Friends of Palestine
Various statements have also been issued by the Met Police and Palestine Solidarity Campaign.
The Met Police has been exercising the powers granted to them in 2023 by the Public Order Act, also known as Public Order Bill, or Anti-Protest Bill.
This is an explanation by Amnesty International of what the Act entails:
www.amnesty.org.uk/blogs/campaigns-blog/public-order-bill...
As of January 2025, the Human Rights Act 1998, which gives effect to rights and freedoms guaranteed under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), is still in force in the United Kingdom.
The ECHR includes the following articles:
Article 10
FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION
"Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers."
Article 11
FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY AND ASSOCIATION
"Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and to freedom of association with others, including the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests."

This is a photograph from the 12th annual running of the Tom Brennan Memorial 5KM Road Race and Fun Run which was held on Furze Road, Phoenix Park, Chapelizod, Dublin, Ireland on New Year's Day Sunday 1st January 2017 at 12:00. The race route is a two loop course which starts and finishes on the Furze Road in the middle of the Phoenix Park. Participants follow a clockwise, right-handed, route around Furze Road, Ordnance Survey and Chesterfield Avenue. The weather on New Year's Day in the Phoenix Park is always unpredictable. A very strong headwind into the faces of participants along Chesterfield Avenue made this particular section tough going for everyone. There was also a particularly cold icy feel in the air despite the recent mild weather in Ireland over Christmas. However several hundred runners, joggers and walkers shook off the effects of Christmas celebrations to take part. The route itself is flat without any noticeable undulations.
The race is organised and promoted by the local athletics club Liffey Valley Athletic Club who are based in Islandbridge, Dublin 8 and have a catchment area around this part of Dublin city. The race commemorates the memory and contribution of former club member Tom Brennan who won the National Cross Country Championships in 1975 in UCD Belfield at the age of 24 years. A special commemorative perpetual trophy is presented to the winner of the race every year. The race is also of particular interest to those runners, joggers and walkers who are not necessarily involved in the competitive side of road racing. Annually the race is the first of a series of races in Dublin city which make up the Lord Mayor’s 5 Alive Challenge. This initiative by Dublin City Council is now in its fifth year and several hundred runners, joggers and walkers volunteer to take part in five of Dublin’s most popular road races. The Liffey Valley Club and many other volunteers work hard to make this a very successful event. It provides a splendid opening of the New Year for runners of all abilities. It is also a fitting 'official' start to the new calendar year of road racing in the Dublin and North Leinster region.
This photograph is part of a large set of photographs which was taken at the race. The complete set is available on our Flickr page at [https://www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/albums/72157676887245971]

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!

I am not a fisherman. It is not difficult to understand the attraction of fishing, but my personality would simply not allow me to enjoy the activity. I need to be continually engaged in what I am doing, and time spent waiting is not attractive to me (which is why developing film is not at the top of my enjoyable activities).
However, those who have different personalities can enjoy quiet time in contemplation, dividing their thoughts to the bobbing of the float, and using their knowledge and skill to successfully capture a fish. Indeed, I can understand the attraction of starting the day in this way, as we all have choices of how to start at the beginning.
