The silhouette has always been one of my favorite shots but I've probably never gotten one quite as good as this. My 7 year old brother, Manning, wanted to learn the ropes around dad's warehouse yesterday, so he spent the day with me; driving the forklift, moving carpet and organizing the warehouse. On the way home we passed by an open field with a glorious sunset behind it, so I stopped to take a few silhouette shots of the trees. While I was setting up Manning got the urge to run in front of the lens... and thus this piece I like to call "freedom".I've also been thinking a lot about action shots lately and on Thursday afternoon I was craving life through a lens. I ended up going to the homeschool guys basketball practice to play with the camera a little bit and get some angles on the action. I've decided I'm going to try to get a few good individual shots of each player during the season. 
I've come to appreciate a slower shutter speed with action shots... especially if the light is less than accommodating. By following the subject during the shot I've found I can still keep pretty good focus on my action and keep the background blurred. Clean backgrounds are crucial for a good action shot!
