2/27/2016 WGI Austin Regional Championship - Lehman HS

It was a very long day back 'n forth between Kyle and southwest Austin. The Bowie "A" Guard and "World" Guard performed in preliminary rounds and finals rounds, finishing in first place in both classes! I also had my son Jordan performing with his Jazz Band I and The Bowie Choir in a jazz concert on the Bowie Theater stage. So, here we have 658 images of the A Guard's preliminary warm-ups and performance, along with the World Guard's preliminary warm-ups and performance, their afternoon rehearsal at Bowie Gym, and then their finals warm-ups and performance to conclude the contest. I missed the A Guard's finals performance due to the conflict with the Jazz Show at Bowie Theater.

READ THIS... if you haven't before:

I don't mind if you share any photos you find of your Bowie Guard member on social media sites and emails, as long as you leave my copyright watermark along the bottom of the image.

These images are optimized for viewing on-screen on your electronic devices -- they won't reproduce well in printed form because these JPG files are highly compressed and are of reduced resolution. If you would like prints, please contact me via email and I can handle any printing needs you have. Identify images by their captions. The caption includes the date/event/file number of each image. With that data I can identify your image among the thousands I'll shoot this year. Then tell me what size print you would like and if you need multiple prints of any image. I have decided to only print the Bowie Guardian images on metallic paper from this point on. I produce contrasty, saturated color images, and high gloss, metallic paper reproduces that type image like nothing else. The problem is it costs twice as much, but it is worth the cost. There's a lost of driving involved as well, so I'm making amendations to pricing to recover my costs.

Print prices:
4" x 6" = $6
5" x 7" = $9
8" x 10" & 8" x 12" = $12
11" x 14" & 11" x 16" & 11" x 17" = $17
12" x 12" & 12" x 18" = $20

I hand deliver your print orders to your home or by other arrangement.

For you technical types: I shoot with two Canon EOS 7D Mark II bodies; a Sigma EX DG 70-200mm f/2.8, and a Sigma 17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro (OS)* HSM | C. I shoot all my images in RAW format, so I have to spend hours processing everything I shoot into JPG images. I edit these images on a calibrated and profiled monitor. Your screen is not calibrated, so the colors, contrast, and exposure of my images won't look the same on your screens. If you were to print my image, you would see the image the way I edited it because all printers are calibrated to the same standard as my monitor. It takes me a few days to post my images after an event. Note: click the DOWNLOAD icon under each image to save the image onto your device. If you find all the scrolling tiresome, there is a Slideshow function you may use if you click the Slideshow button over to the right --->

If you are on a mobile device, you can add the Smugmug App (found at your device's app store) which makes browsing these images quick and gorgeous.

Enjoy,
