I actually got this almost a month ago, but just hadn’t photographed the medal yet. It was a great race – my fastest half marathon yet!

Canon 6D | ISO 200 | 47mm | f/11 | 1/160 sec | Two AlienBees 400 flash units – main slightly to camera left and through umbrella, second behind subject to camera left

Westley’s expression is what really elevates this family portrait from good to great ;-)

Canon 6D | ISO 100 | 85mm | f/6.3 | 1/160 sec

I figured that it might be good to get a somewhat decent photo of my Xbox One controller before it gets too messed up from use.

virtual Blizzcon [Day 2137]

Fuji X100S | ISO 4000 | 23mm | f/2.0 | 1/640 sec

For the first time in a while, I’m not at BlizzCon this year. It’s definitely a lot of fun and I miss it, but it’s also very relaxing to take a year off.

So instead of the long drive, the cost, the lines, the exaustion, and the crowds, I’m doing the Virtual Ticket video stream instead. It’s a pretty nice way to get to see all the panels without needing to rush around.

But I still think I’ll want to go in-person again next year. Taking a year off ought to let me fully recharge and be extra excited for it again ;-)

Virtual Photography | Captured and processed in the Forza Horizon 2 video game on the Xbox One system

This was an exciting moment in the game ;-)

Virtual Photography | Captured and processed in the Forza Horizon 2 video game on the Xbox One system

Getting a new Forza game on a new game system means that it’s time for some more virtual photography. Here I am taking my 2010 Maserati Gran Turismo S out for a spin on a rainy day.

Canon 6D | ISO 200 | 105mm | f/5.0 | 1/160 sec

The Xbox One controller is a lot like the Xbox 360 controller, only even better. Which is great, because I really loved the 360 controller! I really need a get a better picture of this sometime, but right now I really just want to play it for a little bit before bed ;-)

Xbox One [Day 2132]

Photo-a-Day: Year 6, Day 306 – Total Days: 2,132

Canon 6D | ISO 100 | 96mm | f/5.6 | 1/100 sec

With the combined might of a special white edition bundled with Sunset Overdrive and a temporary price drop, Microsoft finally got me to buy an Xbox One.
