Dallas Stars

Went to the opening game with Ryan a couple of weeks ago. He's got great seats so i took my Camera. It was also the TX-OU weekend, so this was a pretty big deal for Dallas. We won, great game and we had a lot of fun. Thanks Ryan!

Brave Combo

What's an Octoberfest without the little Grammy winning Polka band from Denton, Brave Combo. Always a crowd pleasing favorite and sure to detract from the usual musical fare at any Texas based German beer drinking festival in late September....

Actually I really like these guys, they are a heck of a lot of fun and even for the smaller Mckinney venue they just like to have fun and get folks partying.

I took a few handheld shots checking out my camera. This one is at ISO 6400, F5.6, 1/80 second. This was on my 28-135 so pretty much wide open at telephoto. It turned out ok. Couple more stops would have been great. Most of the other shots were too soft. So here you go.

Well the 365/52 experiment sure didn't work.

We went to the Mckinney Octoberfest a couple of weeks ago. I went early in the morning then we went back later in the day. This is my favorite shot of the day, some kid walking through the labyrinth they created with cleaning products. I took a few more shots throughout the day, including some of the band Brave Combo. I may try to convert some to B&W to see how they look.
