More swimming and diving Photography

Today I was on deck helping photograph the swimming meet at Lake Orion High School. Here's an image I snapped with my iPhone. I have thousands of images on my camera, but this is the only one I can get to my blog in time tonight. Tomorrow I have an engagement session, so stay tuned for images from that too.

My Son Diving

Photographed the diving meet yesterday. There's not much artistry in this photograph, but there is artistry in the way my son was diving. He's done enough to qualify for regionals, or State, or something like that. The whole organizational structure of the diving and swimming makes my head swim (pun intended.) Either way he gets to dive again this weekend. Way to go son!

Sometimes I take a breath.

Sometimes I need to stop and take a breath. Soak up everything going around me, and then take the shot.
Sometimes I need to remind myself to slow down and then take the shot.
Sometimes this helps me focus.
Sometimes.
Sometimes I need to react and not think at all.
Sometimes I need to seize the moment and capture it before it's gone.
Sometimes.

The obvious swimming photo

Yesterday was my first opportunity to be on the deck during the swim meet.  I know this kind of photo and composition has been captured a million times before, but I had to capture it at least once.

Sleeping Bear Bluff

Wandering Bluff
Sleeping Bear Bluff


This swimmer was wandering in the water of lake Michigan. In the distance is part of the sleeping bear dunes national lakeshore. I liked the composition of this one a lot because it highlights the beauty of the dunes and the vastness of lake Michigan. This picture would be nothing without the swimmer wandering in the water. I gave him room to walk in the frame in order to convey the distance and give a natural feel to the shot. Wow that was a mouthful, but these things are really what I was thinking when I took this shot.

I borrowed a friend's Nikon D80 and lens for this shot.
Camera: Nikon D80
Exposure: 0.002 sec (1/500)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 105 mm
