__________________________

Baseball: Whether it is the split second when a bat hits the ball or when player slides home safe, the camera is able to freeze the action on the diamond.

__________________________

Travel and Still life: Photography is more than just capturing action. Some of the best photos are of subjects that haven’t moved in days, weeks or years and they shouldn’t be missed.

__________________________

Hockey: Shooting hockey is one of the most difficult activities in photography. Fast action, low lighting, and players crowded around the net are just some of the challenges. And just when the perfect shot comes into focus a referee can skate in front of the camera.

Military: Whether training in Canada or deployed overseas, during his career as an Intelligence Officer in the Canadian Armed Forces serving on multiple missions in Bosnia and Afghanistan, David had the unique opportunity to capture military personnel in action.
