I shot two more Rocket City United games this past weekend. The first game was against Performance FC; the second was against Monterrey, a Mexican international team. I took a ton of photos. Here are some of the ones I like the best from the first game.

At halftime, they had all the kids in the stands come down and play a game at midfield. Swarm soccer rocks!

I’ll post more from the games in the days to come.

I got the chance to shoot some more soccer recently. Last Saturday, the Alabama Spirit from Birmingham came to town to play Huntsville’s Rocket City United. Though RCU lost 1-2, it was great game to watch and photograph.

I’ve moved all of the Mitchell family related posts to the new Mitchell Family Blog. New photos and family updates will be posted on the new blog. Be sure to check it out. Note that a login is required. If you don’t already have a password, email me and I’ll hook you up.

I’m going to reserve this blog for strictly Brian Mitchell Photography related info. Look for lots of new shots from recent photo shoots in the near future.

P.S. I’m in the middle of reformatting most of the earlier posts to this blog so I apologize for any odd things you might see. Also, if you’re viewing this in IE, please switch to Firefox.

Shown above are two of my entries to the Huntsville Botanical Garden Spring Festival of Flowers Photo Contest. You can also view all the entries in this slideshow.

I’m getting into HDR or high dynamic range imaging. Here are a couple of my first tries. The first is a composite of 5 RAW images of the largest dogwood in Alabama at the Huntsville Botanical Garden. I didn’t have my tripod with me so the shots are little out of alignment.

The second is a psuedo-HDR made from one RAW image. I think it turned out well too. I converted both using the trial version of Photomatix.
