I got a fun project to snap some photos for an upcoming article in ABQ The Magazine. With the subject "bling" I picked a new 2011 BMW 335is Convertible. Not the most expensive BMW available, but the X6, X5M, and the new 6 Series are out of reach for most.
With smoke plaguing the Sandias from the Wallow Fire in Arizona, Albuquerque is waking up every morning with a slight blanket of ash. I wasn't able to get the perfect clean backdrop, but the effect reminded me of one of my old warming filters I picked up years ago.

I just got my media credentials for Shark Fights at Santa Ana Casino and the AMA Motocross event in Lakewood Colorado. In my quest to put myself in just about every difficult situation with a camera I figured a few rounds of MMA would be perfect. As with a concert or many live events a flash won't be permitted. Hopefully Santa Ana Star Center has good lighting so I can freeze the action without going above ISO 3200.
Outdoor motocross is just the icing on the cake. I have attended two indoor Supercross events in the past year, but this will be my first outdoor motocross event not counting...

I decided to check out a good friends band Good as Dead at the Launchpad in Albuquerque. It has been a while since I have been in a small venue like this with a camera, but I forgot how difficult it was. Sure I could cheat and use a flash, but respecting the band and crowd I decided to get creative. I can't remember the last time I went above ISO 3200. At the show I dabbled with the ISO at 6400 to stop the motion.
Considering the poor lighting, high ISO, no tripod and no flash I am very happy with the results.
Photos from the evening:
Band: Good as Dead
