Area 53 - Photo 40 - Above The Banners

Another Windsor Spitfires season begins, another championship raising takes place.
I managed to get out of bed despite being sick as a dog to collect my credentials and photograph the ceremony. I only stuck around for a period and managed not to vomit onto the ice below in time to snap a few pics. Plus, I still have no real idea how to work my new camera and all it's funky settings, Sunday was definitely not the day to try and learn.
Anyway, my photo of the week is the four banners taken from in the rafters with new Spitfire Jack Campbell (10th pick overall in the 2010 draft) in the crease below.
The others include a closer pick of Campbell, a cool pic of Di Salvo on the other end of the rink facing his own net, and an overhead of a fight being wrangled up by the refs.
I hope you enjoy the few I got, and I hope to enjoy the long season ahead trying to utilize my new equipment to capture some great hockey moments.
Til next week,

Area 53 - Photo 39 - Girlicious Embraces UWindsor

I had Girlicious perform at the University of Windsor Pub this past Thursday night and took the first real challenging photos I had taken in weeks.
It was the first time I used my new Canon 50D and I was having a hell of a time figuring it out on the fly without ever checking out all the features I had no idea how to use, but eventually was able to find the right settings to get at least a couple alright photos of the show.
The new renamed Thirsty Scholar wasn't as full as it could've been that night, but the crowd loved Girlicious, and Girlicious loved them back.
This is my favourite of the bunch, Natalie reaching out and embracing her Windsor fans.
Now that the my few weeks of chaos at work has passed, I'm hoping to get out there and really take advantage of the new camera.
Ciao for now.

Area 53 - Photo 38 - Arrival

Since I'm catching up on the last two weeks at one time, here's blog two in the last few minutes.
During my week of madness my friends welcomed their daughter into the world.
Of the few times I've managed to stop in for visit since she's been born these are the best I've managed to get of her with her eyes open, which was about 30 seconds combined.
What a sweetheart!
The second is a random macro shot I took during one of my visits of an ant on a beach towel.
The ant is cool, but I really think I'm more fanscinated with the fabric of the towel.
Enjoy.

Area 53 - Photo 37 - Detroit Vu

So i'm the latest I've been in regards to mine and Cale's weekly photo blog.

My only defense it that it's the busiest time of the year for me work-wise and I've just been too consumed to keep up, nor did I actually have time to take any photographs, most specifically I really wanted to get some shots of Alexisonfire and all the other bands I had perform at the E3 Music Festival (I'm pissed I was too busy to partake in any photopraphy action but what can I do). On the bright side, Cale Best and Ashlyne O'Neil got the job done in capturing E3 on camera.

My only shot is a panaramic of the Detroit skyline I did one night during University of Windsor Welcome Week when I got a break to attend a concert at Caesar's Windsor's. I took it with my iphone from their upper level restaurant called Vu.

It's slacking I know, but it's something, I hope you like it.
