Photographic Favorites From the Year

This last Christmas I gave myself a Pentax K-x entry-level DSLR as a Christmas present. I’m enjoying learning more about photography, and it’s been a lot of fun capturing events in my life. Here are some of my favorites from this year (each of these photos is a link into the set, if you want more context):

Andy & Tierney’s Wedding

Due to a clerical error, I was invited to the Schatz wedding. It was great!

Lighting Fun

I picked up some lighting gear–Elinchrom D-Lite 2s and YN-460 II speedlights–which have been a lot of fun to play around with. Most of the resulting photos aren’t posted, but to give you an idea:

CrossFit

I’ve taken a handful of CrossFit-related photos. I’d love to do a full photo shoot at the gym sometime, with a portrait/lighting setup to catch people post-workout.

Dodgeball

I tried my hand at some action shots for dodgeball. Boo, florescent lighting! The last shot is from trampoline dodgeball, which is the best thing ever.
