Slightly belated, due to the other news, but I did finally get my pictures from the karate tournament downloaded.
First, the good one of me with my ever so fancy trophy. Please feel free to ooh and aah. You know you wish you had one in your living room. Do click to enlarge so you can get the full effect.
The second one is one that Mark took while I was actually doing my kata. The blur effect is completely due to how super-fast I am, and has nothing at all to do with the fact that he had turned the flash off, which increased the exposure time. I swear.
In other photography news, it is surprisingly hard to take pictures of a lunar eclipse with a regular camera. I hope you all went outside and saw it with your own eyes instead.
I’m off to DC tomorrow for a conference, so hopefully I will come back with fabulous tales of fun and excitement, but I shan’t be blogging again until next week.
I do wish I had one…but not necessarily in my living room. I think it’s a very impressive photo. My husband (who adores watching any kind of martial arts, boxing, UFC, etc. on TV) was impressed by the belt.
I actually got my black belt when I was 18, Mary, but then wasn’t able to seriously train once I got to college, so I’m sort of ambivalent about what my rank really means right now. But you can convey my thanks to your husband for being impressed anyway!
Wow you look great. I am impressed you can do so well.
