NOT 2000+ pictures in this post, haha. But from Saturday to Sunday, I captured more than 2000 frames – maybe more like 2500 or 3000, but I didn’t really count.
Most of the week was consumed with studying and school.
I did recently acquire a pair of goalkeepers gloves, even though I don’t play soccer, let alone goalie – but I felt like I had to take a selfie with them…
Set up in my garage, no backdrop, just some technical knowledge and flashes…
Straight out of camera:
After editing:
Saw these super cute little goslings after I finished my Friday morning lab…
Then this candid on FSU campus…
Then yesterday morning, I photographed the 2016 Red Hills Triathlon – an event that I have raced six times in the last eight year.
Here are some of my favorite images, that I’ve gone and through and edited. I shot more than 1600, and culled that down to a gallery of 530-ish that can be found on Facebook HERE.
These three images may seem like casual portraits, but I think they are both interesting, and considering it was pitch black early morning, and I was working on balancing flash and ambient exposure, they came out very well.

Wow. There are no other words. So impressive.

I call him “the Terminator.”
Loved the high contrast “sportlight” areas, haha.

He almost beat my youngest age at the race…
Flex.
YEAH!
Then I headed over to FSU to edit the morning’s images, and shot the second of a three game series of Softball versus N.C. State…
All smiles
#2 had some impressive plays/steals all weekend…
Dodging a poorly placed pitch.
Oops.
Today I was asked to photograph FSU Men’s Tennis, as it was Senior Day and there weren’t a whole lot of other available photographers…
The most tasteful senior ceremony I’ve seen.

I think I’ve deleted it or not edited it, but there were a couple images where I could see the fuzz that had been blasted off the tennis ball after getting smacked by the racket.

And then I promptly headed over to softball again for the Paint It Pink game (the third game in the NCSU series).
I’ve been wanting to take this picture (or something similar, but maybe more epic) since I first saw how the team circles up prior to games…they left a spot for me. At least that’s what I’m claiming… 😉
Multiple time cancer survivor, and her daughter is a med-student at FSU and competed at Ironman World Champs in 2013 with me.
Didn’t even realize I had this until I got on the computer.
Initially didn’t like the umpire in the way, but I think it adds depth.
Safe.
Another one where I think all of the people add to the image whereas a tighter shot may not have been as cool.
Chucking TShirts from the press box – she’s such a cool individual!
Enjoy!
[Edit]
And in other news I was kindly asked while at the softball game today, if I had any images that NC State could use to showcase their new uniforms…(I was very kindly asked by their SID) and so I helped him out, and got credit and a banner image on their website1
For more details and descriptions, check out the captions on the images; I’m trying to use galleries more since they make the blog posts easier to view, and it loads quicker, although I don’t think they work as well on mobile devices.
But alas.
Enjoy,
Regards,
Colin
