I got a freelance assignment from the News & Record
UNCG basketball at the Coliseum, I had not shot in there since the ACC tourny in 1999 or 2000 and had not shot basketball for a newspaper in almost 7 years.
I had a blast! Full gallery – https://www.greensboro.com/gallery/sports/photos-uncg-mercer/collection_d0593631-aff8-56c4-89c5-0ad14595dbb2.html
I had a little time before tennis, so I stopped by a local high school to practice shooting basketball, it’s been a few years and I may get some freelance work soon, plus I was working on my basketball lecture for class.
The students from Stoneman Douglas High School joined local students at a Rally for Our Lives in Greensboro, since I had time before tennis and wanted to play with a new gimbal I stopped by.
Of course Trump supporters and/or 2nd amendment had a protest… odd thing was several speakers said they support the 2nd including their family owning guns….
I hate sign photos, but this one I liked….
it has been a while since I tried to cover an event, plus not being allowed “inside the ropes” but I had fun and was also playing with a Sony A7II
This woman put up a good debate with the protesters, it is always interesting to watch the mob mentality against one person.
What I was supposed to wake up to this morning and what I did…. after 2 years of planning, life got in the way and I had to cancel a month long trip to Moab and this morning was supposed to be my first day on the White Rim Trail. I am still thankful for all I have in my life, but this morning I was thinking about where I had a reservation to be…. (PS Utah picture credit to JD Dorton, the guy who helped me plan a lot of my trip)
When I got back to my truck, a local high school student working a photography project, wanted to use my Taco as a prop…. either way (in Utah or at a trail head) the truck was photographed today. (This is the June 12 POD – I messed up posting)
Still had the macro lens on, so this dragon fly was next. I had to take the extension tube off and this is still more than 1:2, so really more a close-up, than a macro photo! (It kept flying away when I tried to get to macro distance!)
Johnny Horne visited to give a talk on photographing the August 21st total eclipse. Great lecture, learned a ton!
Dhanraj watches the grads come in RCC graduation.
the photo grads that walked!
Not a lot of extra time, so I grabbed my homemade extension tube and macro for some great than 1:1 photography.
