Shoot wide, shoot B.W. (Utah Cyclocross)

I can't help it, I bring my cool guy expensive telephoto lens with the intent of mainly using it and end up shooting 98 percent of my photos with my wide angle. I also didn't plan on shooting black and white but ended shooting nothing but. Shot the men's "C" group in the morning and the men's "A" group in the afternoon. To see more go here.

Not going to write much. The weather was perfect and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the course was. Only shot the few first groups on Sunday. To see more click this

Utah Cross Country Championships

I offered to take a few photos for a acquaintance of mine at the Utah State High School Cross Country Championships, at Sugar House Park. I was only able to sneak away from work just long enough to shoot pictures for a half hour. I wish I would had more time as there was ample opportunities to get some great photos. Plus it was fun to see the kids run there hearts out. I might try to shoot a few meets next year. See a few more photos here

Mountain View Half Marathon

The weather gods smiled once again for one of Jim Skaggs races out on Antelope Island. As you can see from the pictures the weather was perfect and maybe even a bit warm for some of the runners. My friend Christian and his wife were running the race so I decided it would be a good opportunity to go out and shoot some pictures. I hadn't shot any races since July so I was feeling rusty and really wanted to get out somewhere before winter set in. Sure glad I did as it was a great race to watch and just nice to hang out in the sun and watch the racers do all the work. Jim always puts on a well run race and everybody had a great time. If you haven't run one of Jim races you missing out. Just check out the barbuecue they had!(some of the last photos on the flickr sight)

I go back and forth on how the pictures turned out, one minute I think there great and I am happy with my effort and the next minute I think there not so great and wish I had another chance to shoot some over again. Next race I will shoot with some different lenses and try to mix it up a little and see what happens. To see more photos of the race go here
