Spring Sports




I can't believe how fast the last two weeks have gone by. Ryan started t-ball practice and everything has been a blur since then. He has his first game tomorrow and we are very excited.
My joy is two-fold. While on one hand, it's such a milestone that my little man will be playing his first ball game. On the other hand, will be a new Nikon with hopefully it's AF-S DX VR 55-200 mm lens!
Ulterior motive. I know. But I am excited to be able to get really good shots like my friend Anissa does of her girls pictured above. Sports composites are my thing these days and I am having so much fun designing. Hopefully, with the new purchase, not only will I be able to put them together with the photos that parents give me, I will be able to come out and take photos myself for composites and shows.
Everyone wins!
Now, if someone could explain it to my husband again I would appreciate it!

Sports Cards


Playing around in Elements while finishing up a sports show for the Wildcats. I came up with a very basic design on the fly, it's just three layers, gaussian blur, and some text. Pretty basic, so I plan on tweaking it some tomorrow and then adding it to the show.
This is just one of the many (many!) action shots that her parent's got over the season last year. It's my favorite.
We had a great weekend and really enjoyed the weather today. We practiced t-ball with Ryan, who has officially been drafted by the Mets. He's four, so we are thrilled. :)
I will definitely be creating a baseball card for him when he gets his uniform this week.
Back to work now!
