robert@robertdunnimages.com (Robert Dunn Images) — Sat, 20 Sep 2008 18:08:00 GMT

The Tucson Sidewinders will be moving off to Reno in 2009, so while they were still around I took a few photos at the last couple of Sunday night games, including a rain out on the second-to-last game of the season.

A few photos from my trips to the nation's capital.

Clouds

A life growing up among the flat gray skies of the Pacific Northwest gave an appreciation for the more uneven skies of the Southwest, especially during monsoon season.

Desert Museum

The trick is (if you call it that) is to get out really early in the morning - particularly on the hot Sonoran Desert Summer Days - as this is the only time when the animals are active.

Fireworks!

robert@robertdunnimages.com (Robert Dunn Images) — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 18:50:00 GMT

Fireworks are always a work to capture. It's one of the few things these days that requires a understanding of the manual aspects of the art. In the conditions you're trying to capture, none of the automatic wizardry works - you're on your own. Fortunately, with a little luck, sometimes you can capture something quite special.

Kart Racing

robert@robertdunnimages.com (Robert Dunn Images) — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 18:55:00 GMT

A bunch of us were meeting up at the local Kart track to race the rental carts. I arrived there a little early and caught the last part of the Kart race going on, allowing me to practice with the new lens. Sorry, no shots of me racing - which is probably good since I still can't quite figure out the right line on that course.

Lunar Eclipse - 20 Feb 2008

I was lucky enough to be in town during the Lunar Eclipse and was able to take a few good shots of the Moon. Just as I was hitting my stride clouds moved in, and brought an early end to the evening.

2008 24 Hours in the Old Pueblo

robert@robertdunnimages.com (Robert Dunn Images) — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 04:34:00 GMT

This year I didn't just photograph the ride, I also completed two laps. Didn't get the night exposures that I wanted to, but did get to have some fun laps at night and at dawn. I was able to get a few photos of friends and some of the strange that you encounter on the trail.

When the SWAT team stops by...

robert@robertdunnimages.com (Robert Dunn Images) — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 22:26:00 GMT

No, the SWAT team didn't stop by my place looking for me - as many of you I'm sure assumed.

As it turns out, the neighbor behind me was have a bit of a domestic - rumor among the rest of the neighbors afterwards was that the father had a bit too much to drink and had a weapon.

I was woken up at about 3 am this morning by the police helicopter. After doing my best to get back to sleep I looked out the bedroom window and noticed that the helicopter's spotlight was illuminating my backyard. Not taking this as a good sign, I grabbed my big 6 D-cell Maglite and proceeded to make sure I was the only one at home.

After sweeping the house, I started checking around the yard, and noticed some movement in the backyard. Sure enough, shining my flashlight in the corner, I spotted a couple of uniformed cops looking over the back wall towards the neighbor's house behind me. The cops kindly asked that I turn off the lights in the backyard, which I did.

About an hour after the original officers showed up, the SWAT team showed up. They hung out for several hours keeping a watchful eye and automatic weapons trained on the house behind me. While they didn't accept any, they did smile when I offered a couple of them passing by some coffee - it was a cold morning after all.

Things started to pick up about dawn, and it looked like things were winding up when a couple of SWAT members showed up with big bags of McDonald's. I'm starting to think at this point, "Geez, this is going to last all day."

At about 8:30, the SWAT team started packing up their weapons, which I took to be a sign that things had calmed down across the wall. The police were able to get the wife and kids out of the house and take the father into custody. Only damage was a hole they put into the wall next door to the house in question to gain access better access to the house.

Time For Another "Walkabout"

robert@robertdunnimages.com (Robert Dunn Images) — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 22:22:00 GMT

This latest drive was a casual meandering through 7 states over 19 days as I traveled north as far as Olympia, Washington. What is here are the best of 2300 shots taken over 4700 miles.

The basic route was this: through Page, Arizona to Zion National Park with a quick stop at Antelope Canyon. Then up to Salt Lake City for some skiing, then onto Sun Valley for more skiing. West along the Columbia George to Portland, then north to Olympia. The return trip followed the Oregon and California coast with stops in McMinville, Tillamook, Eureka, San Francisco, and San Luis Obispo. Finally eastward through Death Valley, a quick stop in Las Vegas, and home.
