LeggNet's Digital Capture

Nephew, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

I made this capture of my nephew at the family Thanksgiving Dinner last week. It was a spur-of-the-moment photo as he sat on his father’s lap and looked my direction. The intense eyes really make this shot.

Olympic Oval, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

The Utah Olympic Oval in Kearns, Utah.

This building was the site of the speedskating events in the 2002 Winter Olympics. It is now used as a recreational facility for such things as indoor soccer, hockey, public skating and, of course, speedskating. The unique architectural features of the structure make it a prime subject for nighttime photography.

14 Catalogs, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year”

Yes, the over-commercialized holiday season is upon us. In just one day’s mail delivery last week we received fourteen catalogs. I can’t imagine the expense that these companies incur in producing, printing and mailing these full color works.

Would these be considered “Snail-Mail-Spam?

Pride, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

This was taken by Michelle at our children’s school during a Veteran’s Day program. Though I am not a huge fan of selective colorization of images, I felt that this one could use the effect to isolate the scout.

Love, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Flames of Freedom, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

Many people consider flag photos to be a cliché. As a subject, especially in America, flags are so abundant that they make an easy target. In taking this capture I sought to capture an American flag from a different viewpoint and avoid the stereotypical flag shot. Did it work?

10 Years, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

My wife Michelle and I used to play in a band with a few other musicians, one of them being an 18 year old drummer named Kyle. One of the Kyle’s hobbies in addition to drumming was making jewelry. For our 10th anniversary a few years back, Michelle “commissioned” Kyle to make a new wedding band for me.

It’s not the most impressive piece of jewelry you’ll ever see, but how many of you have a ring made by a teenage drummer?

Is it just me, or does this toy cowboy bear a striking resemblance to Burt Reynolds (during the
Smoky and the Bandit era)?

Sunset at Napili Bay, originally uploaded by Life of David.

We had a photo challenge over at my group on Flickr, LeggNet’s Contacts. The theme of the challenge was My Favorite Place and we had 44 entries. Selecting a winner was very difficult for the judges (my wife & daughters) because of all the great entries. The winning entry was submitted by a photographer who goes by the name of Life of David. His photograph titled Sunset at Napili Bay is featured here.

For winning, David received a one year Flickr Pro account. What is really cool is that David passed on receiving the prize and asked that it be given to someone more in need of the account.

All of the entries can be seen on this thread in my Flickr group.

Just Plain Hot, originally uploaded by LeggNet.

My brother-in-law and his wife spend time every few months hand-blowing glass in their garage. It is quite amazing to watch as the glass blowing process unfolds. The pieces they create are truly works of art.

This capture was made midway through the production as they were worked together to create a vase. More photos of the work in progress can be seen here.
