"Tailgating with Style"

Today I walked around Lambeau field looking at all the partying, grilling, sights and sounds. It was a perfect setting for the lens that I have, and a great place to get some lifestyle or portrait shots. I had to snap myself out of shooting landscape and architectural shots, as thats something I'm really comfortable with and only have minor things to improve on. Instead, I snapped a lot of great pictures like this one, and will probably put some more online. I just ran around snapping pictures of everyone having a great time, but this photo was so nontypical of everything else around that it stood out. Additionally they both seemed to be so happy to just relax with their "tailgating food" (for those of you that have never tailgated at Lambeau, its basically sacrilege to grill anything but brats, burgers, or hot dogs), that I had to pick it.

"Lights Out Lambeau"

Another night, a new subject, and another attempt at HDR. There are a few things I wish I had control over. The flare in the upper left corner from a parking lot lamp was unavoidable if i wanted the shot I wanted to get. Sad but true, and with my current equipment, I couldn't do anything about it. Also, with the multiple AEB shots I did and a moving part of this shot as well (the flag) being so lit up, a small amount of movement can be seen there. Lastly, a large white spot of a large spot light lights up part of a sign, creating almost a white hole in the photo. In my opinion, not bad for my second true HDR image, and I'm sure I will get better with time. Tomorrow I hope to get a chance to go in a different direction with my shots. For now, I sign off.
