Capital Aikikai Testing - October 25, 2008 : Kyu testing - 5th through 2nd kyu plus some shots of post-test instruction. I shot this test a bit differently. My knee was bothering me so I didn't shoot from the mat, but standing, from the little spectator area. Because I was further back, I used a 70-200mm lens. There were less people testing this time, so only one pair tested at a time. Unfortunately, most testers hung around one of the posts that support the ceiling which effectively hid them from the camera. Instead of using off camera flashes, I mounted an old camera to the same post the testers were hiding behind. It didn't get used much except for Dave's 2nd kyu test. Dave was the only one who didn't hide behind the post. In fact, Dave was asked to move a bit more towards the center of the dojo to avoid throwing Russ into the examiners' table. :) Any way, you can spot the photos from the remote camera by looking for that examiners' table.

Cottier Sensei at Capital Aikikai - June 2003 : June 2008, five years later. A friend asked me for a copy of my photos of Cottier Sensei to help remember him. After reviewing them, I decided to reprocess them since I have a lot more experience working with digital files.
