Image #1 taken during a night game at the high school with a Canon 7D, 70-200mm @ 200mm-at ISO 2500/ f2.8 @ 1/640 of a sec.
Image #2 is shot of the score board early in the game.
Finished composite – Practicing with the pen tool some more. I removed the player mostly with the quick select tool with some help from the pen tool. Them I cut out the score board using only the pen tool. Then just for fun I played a little bit with the pen tool and shapes in the form of the ribbon and the blue and white lines which started out as a set of parallel rectangular shape and then they were shaped with the warp function in PS5. The score was also changed in favor of the home team.

A couple of images from the start of the 2011 Tour of Chautauqua Bicycle event in Westfield New York. A little bit of post processing to increase contrast, give the colors a little pop and a slight vignetting on the corners.

Practicing extracting elements from existing images and combining them with other images. I think the extraction looks pretty good. No color fringing on the edges etc. This is a mock ad for the civil war encampment that took place on Aug 6th and 7th. I’m not happy with the grin on the gun toting rebel, I think a sterner face would have worked better with the protecting theme but I am working with existing images and using what I have on hand.
All the extracting, tone adjustments, B&W conversion and text where preformed in photoshop CS5.

The above gallery of images were taken Sunday Aug 7th in Westfield New York. You can see the color version that is straight out of the camera, base exposure. Then you can see my interpretation of what I think the image should look like. I took a series of hand-held exposures to give me an exposure bracket set on -1 stop, normal and +1 stop. The 3 images were taken into Lightroom 3 and then nik software’s HDR efex where the 3 files were combined to give me an HDR image with contrast, texture and the character of an older image once converted to black and white. Once the HDR was tweaked it was saved and then reopened in nik software’s silver efex pro 2 to do the black and white conversion and tweaking, along with the sepia tone addition. I would like your comments and critique on these images. Thank you, Kurt

Westfield and the surrounding communities of Brocton, Mayville, Fredonia, into Jamestown provide a wealth of sports photography opportunity for sports photography. With all these opportunities I seem to spend a great deal of time covering the youth sports in this area. With the talented young athletes that show off their skill in sports like Basketball, Tennis, and Baseball its time I enjoy spending. There is nothing better than seeing someone that’s good at what they do and enjoy doing it. To see a selection of Sports related images go to the Sports Photography gallery on the website at
