Not only has the team been on fire lately, Now Last season’s favorite Admirals ‘bad boy’ is back….Hopefully he’ll be on the ice on March 7th when the Admirals return to Scope, I have a feeling the crowds are going to grow, and anyone that’s been to a game this season knows that when the crowd is into it, the guys seem to respond with wins…..

Get off your butts and go see some games, I want to take a shot with a full crowd in the background!

 

Spent last weekend up in the NYC area and thanks to some good friends I was able to see all three NYC area NHL teams play…First on Saturday the Devils took it to the visiting Islanders ( Like a moron, I didn’t bring my camera, but next time I will) and then on Sunday night the Rangers owned the Florida Panthers 5-0.  Pictures kinda suck, but what can ya do about that now?

I’ll be in Las Vegas from the 3rd thru the 7th so I expect there should be some decent surf showing up on Monday and being gone by Saturday.

Admirals are back in town on the 7th, the team has kinda been on fire lately so come check out the action.

Sometimes I just like to spell out the word FEBRUARY because it just doesn’t look right…..

Anywho sports fans, just another mention, the shots from Monday appear overexposed on the website, I hosed something up in the batch conversion process and they are not blown, Pretty much every shot can be printed with the correct exposure and I can crop closer if you need, this new camera has plenty of room to work with cropping. I’ve also got my other camera back so I’m set now…bring on the surf!!!

This weekend I will be in and around NYC, going to see some NHL games and I get to shoot a Ranger’s game at THE GARDEN!!!  

Here’s a shot of the moon from Monday’s session at 1st street

Feb 18th, Presidents Day….I was off work today for the Holiday and sometime around 11am I was checking the site out and noticed the Surfline links on the left said it was 4-5ft and fair in VB, So I drove down there and pretty much shot the entire day.

Please note…many of these shots appear over exposed, not to worry, they are all fine, I just didn’t have time to convert all the images and get them ready to upload so I batched everything without adjusting.  I’ll fix anything when/if it is ordered, I’m also working with a new camera so I have much more flexibility when it comes to cropping.

Damn…some people are quick, The gallery already has views and It just finished uploading…. enjoy

I’m back from West Va. Got home just in time to make it to the Admirals game last night and I’m glad I didn’t miss that.

The Admirals have been on Fire lately scoring standings points in 8 of their last 10 games including 6 wins. Last nights game was pretty one sided with the Ads taking a 4-1 lead into the third period when all hell broke loose and everyone on the ice squared off including the goalies 166 total penalty minutes were handed out!   Same teams play tonight at 7:15pm so come on out and cheer the team on.

…and I’m stuck in lovely Charleston, West Va until friday night!!!!!

Looks like I’m gonna miss another swell, might change the site name to WrightCoastHockeyTurtlesLions.com

I am officially a member of the Virginia Aquarium so I can take pictures of the Turtles whenever I feel like it.

Click on the Turtle image to view the gallery from the Virginia Aquarium… Clickon the Photo of the Lion and two cubs to view images from the Virginia Zoo in Norfolk.

Still working on the Admirals Game photos and ArenaCross at the Hampton Coliseum.

First, the Admirals have turned it on recently and have points in their last 7 games (meaning they have won 5 games, and taken the other 2 to Overtime and the ever popular shoot-out)  There are home games Tonight and Tomorrow and the Photo link will be published this weekend as soon as I’m done editting all the new stuff.

Second…I realize that I went 1,2,3,4,6 on the photo of the week…my bad. This one should make up for the missing week and is a preview of some shots I’ve taken at the Va Aquarium.  Side note, I might be going on a whale watch the weekend of March 7th with some friends, if anybody wants to go take photos with  me, send an email.

And finally…it looks like this Saturday is going to be in the mid-60’s so I’m probably going to be hitting the zoo in Norfolk in the afternoon before the game so if you like any of the following…Hockey, Turtles,  Animals and Motocross….I should have all the new photos up sometime Sunday.

 thanks,

Here’s the #6 of the 2008 photo of the week posts…anyone wanna take a bet on when I start slacking off and not posting these?

Taken at a recent Admirals game!

 Stay tuned for a new Admirals photo gallery as well as more Sea Turtles from the Va Aquarium and a whole days worth of ArenaCross action from the Hampton Coliseum…..

The Admirals are at home for 3 games next week, and 3 games the following week… Stay tuned this weekend if you want some free tickets!

I’m also working on an Admirals photo gallery that will be up shortly.

I’ll also be updating the purchase info to reflect a few new sizes that I’ll be offering up to 13×19 as well as more detailed info on purchasing.

Thanks,

john
