Lakewood Varsity Boys Soccer vs Jordan

Man was it great to just get outside and shoot some sports, I didn't care what.  I've been a bit under the weather since the weekend of New Years and just haven't been excited to get out.  I did get out Sunday evening for some sunsets, but I really needed to get out and shoot something challenging - well like sports.  In this case soccer.
 
I was off, the weather was perfect outside, so I checked our high school schedule for soccer and found a game I could cover.  Oh and when I say the weather was perfect I mean I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt, sorry to all my friends in the mid west.
 
Here are some of my favorites from the game.

Huntington Beach Pier Sunset

Another great evening to be at the beach.  I've been loving the weather we've been having lately and having a great time capturing the sunsets.  Now I need to find some new places to go.
In the mean time enjoy some this past weekend.
 








Bolsa Chica Wetlands

Spent some time with the wife in the wetlands walking and enjoying a great day.  There wasn't much activity, but of course I did find a few things to take some shots of.  Oh and I save my best shot for last :)
 





 
Thought I should take a shot of my one true love.

Huntington Beach Pier - Colorless Sunsets

 Since I've been getting into my HDR and sunsets I keep my eyes on the clouds and whenever the clouds look interesting I head out to the beach when able.  Well this past Saturday the clouds looked liked they would produce some interesting formations and colors so I took the drive to Huntington Beach.
 
Now the closer I got to the beach the less clouds I saw until I arrived and there wasn't a cloud in the sky, or above and around the beach.  I decided to wait it out because things can change, but this sunset wasn't meant to be.  Without the clouds or color I decided to get a few shots to bring home and play with, so here is what I came up with.
 
Enjoy

Lakewood Varsity Girls Soccer vs Jordan

Its been slow for me since football season has ended mostly to I haven't had a big desire to get out on my own to shoot some sports.  Been enjoying the down time and shooting other things, such as my beach sunsets.
 
Recently I was asked by the paper I shoot for to cover a girls soccer game.  Now I was asked to cover Poly and Millikan at Poly, but this game was cancelled due to standing water on the field, so I was directed to Lakewood to cover their game.

Been some time since I've shot some soccer, but it was great being out shooting a game.
 
Below are a few of my favorites from the game - enjoy.
