What have I been up to...
Posted By: codiac2600, 08-27-2009, 10:39 AM

Man it's been waaaaaaay too long since I've posted on here so I thought I'd stop by and show off some of the things I've been doing.

First off I'm now the lead photographer for our local Baseball team the Rockford Riverhawks so I'm out there shooting the games in the dugout and on the field. Also picked up the Rockford Thunder pro fastpitch team which is home to the olympic gold medal wining pitcher Cat Osterman. I'm also an instructor for local workshops held by the world famous photographer Nels Akerlund. I'm also doing weekly shoots with girls from HIN (Hot import nights) and selling poster prints of the lovely young ladies at their events not too mention the cars. Oh... and weddings, family sessions and the occasional baby.

Basically, I've been too busy for anything besides working the camera and editing on my computer.

So today I'll put up some of my favorite shots that I've taken while I've been away so enjoy and as always C&C is appreciated!

A lovely wedding ends with a lovely image...


The three sisters...


Behind bars... grrrrrr

SAFE!


The Pitch...


Nailed at first...


Bad toss...


Say it ump! He's OUT!

Wow.




That's all I've got to say, except "Nailed at First" should be called "Safe at first." The first baseman missed the ball.

well, I deeply enjoyed this series. image after image you surprised me with color and composition.
I would have a hard time to pick favorites here.

Congratulations, you are among those who don't have to question the quality of your equipment. It loves you and complements your skill.

Great work as always Chris! It's good to hear that you are keeping busy. We do miss your model photography on the forum, but if you're making money at what you love then more power to you!

Chris,

I'd be interested to hear how you enjoy shooting with the D700 coming from your Pentax background...

I'd also love to know which lenses you use for Nikon...

Thank you so much everyone, can't express how much it means to hear all the good words from the place I started at and all the great photographers that post here.

@Paul, I still shoot Pentax, as well as Canon and Nikon. I use the Nikon more so now because of the ISO capabilities, but the K7 is doing me fine at the moment and may end up being my main sports cam during day games. I've always been a Pentaxian and always will even though it's not my main ride. During every shoot I have to edit I wish my Nikon took images like my Pentax in terms of look, color and contrast.

Not yet I've only been working on paid work for this site and just picked up the K7 10 days ago. I've missed the last few ball games due to rain so hopefully in two weeks!
