Brandon and I went on a ride-along today with the Aurora Police Department. They were out on I-70 and Chambers cracking down on speeding thanks to a grant of $50,000 from the CDOT. Motorists traveling 71 mph and faster were pulled over by motorcycle cops and given warnings. I took this photo of a few of the motorcycle cops returning to their post after issuing warnings.
Stand-alones are fun to shoot. I have a few places I always drive by when looking for a stand-alone, Wheel Park is one of them. There is always something happening that makes for a great photo, the trick is finding it. Once you find it you must shoot it well too. I shot this photo while lying down at the edge of the bowl at Wheel Park shooting up at the BMX riders getting air out of the bowl.
I graduated from Rangeview way back in the 90's. So, I enjoy it whenever I shoot any of their games. I shot their softball game against Brighton on Tuesday and Brighton played very well. Sometimes it is not the action photos that tell the story best, but the reaction photos. I took this photo right after Brighton won 18-0. The look on # 11's face tells the story.
I love shooting football. It is not only the action that I love capturing. It's the fans. It's the cheerleaders. It's the reaction of the players when they lose, or better yet, when they win. It is also the interaction between the people at the game. In this photo Grandview's principal talks with Katelyn Kelly and Meghan Thompson before the start of the game against Fort Collins High School. Grandview won the bout, but I like the story this photo tells.
Today, Brandon and I went to tour the site of the new IKEA store in Centennial. I am a big fan of IKEA and especially Swedish meatballs, so I was a little excited. The site itself seemed like any other construction site except for the fact that it was enormous. This photo of rebar lying at the construction will probably not make it into print, but there are cool lines.
