Photographed Winterhawks players, staff, coaches on the ice today.  One thing I notice: I didn’t need wheels on light stand.  All I needed was just a little push.

Two even lights (Elinchrom BX) with 60″ umbrellas provided barely enough power to give me F16 @ 1600 ISO.    Shot tethered using Canon EOS utility and Lightroom.

Actual photo shoot is about 15 min.  Directing players where to stand or sit took me a while.

I ended up doing lots of dodge and burning since head coach Mike didn’t want to see any of the chairs on the background.





My son Caleb (not shown) and wife Esther in massage chair at the Narita international airport.  Finally back home now.





Spend some family time in Korea.  My last visit here was back in 98 and things has been changed a lot.  Weather?  It’s freezing cold here (about 5 degree in Fahrenheit).

King James is here in town.  It was Brand Roy vs LeBron James.

It’s the biggest college basketball game in Portland, Oregon.  Bulldogs in town.  Lots of great actions and ton of Gonzaga fans tonight.  Gonzaga defeated Portland 81-78

Lighting was not so great and I end up running Dfine 2.0 to remove some of the color noise.





My wife & I (i.e no kids) spent sometime in San Antonio, TX.   As soon as we got there, we had a burger at Freddy’s

and visited some places like the Riverwalk and Alamo

It’s cool place to hang out & eat but we weren’t able to go on boat riding.

San Antonio was very friendly town and I really liked visiting here.  Weather was about 50 degree throughout the visit.





I went through couple of Sunday’s hockey game photo.

Heart breaker comes in late 3rd period.  Everett Silvertips Byron Froese after scoring game winning goal during 3rd period against the Portland Winterhawks at Memorial Coliseum.
