Everyday objects hold as much beauty as any other desirable object. As long as they are put in the right light and allowed to shine.

More roller derby action from Sunday. I have to say this was very fun to watch. I am looking forward to the next one. I have some ideas on how to set my camera now. I went in pretty unprepared this time. I had not thought about bad lighting and fast action. At least now I have a plan…

This ghost image is from a roller derby match Carolina Rollergirls. The match was between the Tai
Chi-tahs and the Debutante Brawlers. The Debutantes ended up winning the derby after a slow start. Anyone not familiar with this sport, it is exciting to watch and fun to boot. The lighting was horrible for camera use. Next time I will be better prepared. I will know what settings to use in order to capture the action. I do not generally shoot action shots so this is a whole new game for me.

I have always had a fascination with shooting windows from the inside out. I hold to the basic philosophy that everyone sees something different when they look out of a window. You can test this theory the next time you are with someone gazing out of a window. Just ask them what they see.

Playing around more with the toy with a new perspective.
