USSD Karate Tournament – Summer 2009

In June of 2009, my children competed in their first karate tournament. While at the event, there was a half time competition of the instructors. It was quite a site to see. As I was not an official photographer, I was about 100 feet out from the action standing in the crowd.

Armed with my Canon 5D Mark II and a 70-200 f2.8 lens, I was able to get some pretty decent shots of the action. High ISO has its advantages, and I never had to pull out the flash.

While shooting some coverage of the 2007 Taste of La Jolla charity event in San Diego, there was a motorcycle jumping exhibition held on the grass of the park. For such a small park with this many people, it was pretty amazing to see such stunts being performed.

Jumping from a ramp set up on the back of their promotional truck, these motorcycles got some 40 to 50 feet in the air. It was pretty dramatic to see. I grabbed my camera, did a quick lens change and snapped off some aerial shots for fun.

Monster Truck Exhibition – Anaheim, CA

I was invited to attend a monster truck show at Angel Stadium in Anaheim in 2006. Armed with a Canon 30D and a couple of lenses, I popped of a couple of choice shots of the action during the event. It was kind of fun walking around the stadium with a nice camera when the attendees could not bring cameras in. The reason for being at the event was to get some sponsor images, but these are a couple of my own shots.

I will update this page with some more shots sometime soon. But these images will serve as a nice placeholder until them.
