Spearfish 14th Annual Holiday Classic

I spent most of this past weekend at the Black Hills State University, photographing the Spearfish 14th Annual Holiday Classic indoor soccer tournament. Teams from all over the region participated in the tournament, with ages ranging from U10 to U19. I was anxious to try out my new Canon ID and test its low-light capabilities at this tournament, as the field house is extremely dark, and I don't like using a flash for soccer. After shooting for 12 hours straight on Saturday, I was glad I didn't have the added weight of a flash on my camera!

Results from the tournament can be seen at Spearfish Soccer. Images from all of the games I covered at the tournament can be viewed and purchased at Thompson Photography.

Derek's Senior Shoot

With the return of students to school, more and more parents (definitely the parents, because the guys anyway aren’t too fired up about it!), are starting to think about senior pictures.

Here is a small sample of images from my recent shoot with Derek.










Give me a call at 605-641-2335 or email at jmthompson@spe.midco.net if you are interested in booking a session for senior pictures. If you have a favorite location in mind, don't hesitate to suggest it! My session times are not limited, so if we have to drive all over the country to find your perfect location, we will do it! Chances are good in this area that I will find something along the way back home to photograph to add to my image library, and I love to drive! It is important to get your session booked early though, because fall is setting in, and the days ARE getting shorter!

Spearfish Junior League Basketball Season Ends

The Saturday before Christmas brought an end to an exciting season of basketball for the youth of Spearfish! The games were held on Saturday mornings, with the girl's league starting in September and finishing at the end of October, and the boy's league starting the first Saturday of November. These kids may not have the skills yet of the high school and college players, but they certainly have the heart and the desire to win, making the games every bit as exciting to watch! There were several times when I caught myself getting wrapped up in a game and forgetting that I was there to take pictures!







Although the youth league has come to an end for the season, high school basketball is just getting started. If you are looking for some excitement to get you out of the house on a boring winter evening, I suggest taking in a high school basketball game for some fast-paced excitement and to show support for our local athletes!
