With the Crunch out of the playoffs, I have transitioned to the Spring sport of Lacrosse. I tell people when photographing a sport to get the object of the sport in the frame. In lacrosse, it is a small, hard ball. Here's a player ripping a shot at the net and I caught the ball in the air after leaving his stick.

You may notice in my signature I have dropped the Nikon D7100 and added the Nikon D750. Takes nice pictures, eh? ;)
 
Because of a weather cancellation the night before, the B'ville Bees Boys Lacrosse game was delayed until after the Girls game last night. Normally, this time of year, the games are done before sunset. Gave me another chance to crank up the Nikon D750 ISO up to 8000. The photo below is edited but no noise reduction added.

Please make the NC Outer Banks a must-see destination if you ever visit North Carolina. The Wright Brothers National Monument in Kill Devil Hills has a museum and grounds exhibits that celebrate the Wright Brother's endeavors. Don't miss it!

Did you know that Memorial Day has its roots in the Civil War era? If these re-enactors were really WWI soldiers, some of them look like they would be old enough to be Civil War veterans.

Later this week is the second annual Brickyard Vintage Racing Invitational here in Indianapolis. This 1965 Huffaker Genie Mk-10B was just one of hundreds of historic racing cars there last year. There's nothing like the look of these mid-60s sports racers.
