Jonathan Thrasher Photography

I’ve been on the road quite a bit the last few weeks. I was in Vegas for WPPI from the 14th-19th. Sorry I didn’t post any photos. WPPI is a massive convention for wedding and portrait photographers. I heard some reports that there were around 20,000 photographers there. I met some really great people who are also amazing photographers. Good times.

This week I’m in Dallas for another convention. I come to the SWPJC every year and I always stay with my good friend Louis DeLuca who is a staff photographer for the Dallas Morning News. Tonight I went with Louis to shoot a Dallas Mavricks game. I LOVE shooting sports. It’s so challenging and it’s a rush bring right on the hardwood where all the action is. In fact, one of the Mavricks players, Jason Kidd, landed on me when he went after the ball. Fortunately, I neither of us gor hurt and my gear was fine.

Here are some shots from the game

I did some experimenting tonight with my 45mm Tilt/Shift lens to try and get a unique look that you never see with basketball.

Just to give everyone a little heads-up. I’m going to be transferring my website to a new hosting company so my website will be down for a while, until everything is transferred. Sometimes this takes a few days. I’m not sure when this will start but wanted to let you all know now so you aren’t thinking I fell of the face of the earth.

Thanks for your patience.

Jonathan
