About Me

My name is Kevin Morgan and I have been involved in photography since I was a kid. My Dad loved photography and taught me how to roll my own rolls of film as well as develop black and white film and make black and white prints in our darkroom at home. When the digital age really started right around 2000, I could hardly wait to get a digital camera. Being a college student at the time, I couldn't afford buying and developing film. Digital had a high up-front cost, but a low recurring cost afterward. Unfortunately I couldn't afford that high up front cost either until almost two years after finishing school. I got my first Digital SLR - a Canon D60 - in October 2003. Since then, I've used nothing but Canon products. Not because I necessarily think Canon is superior to Nikon, but because lenses are not interchangable between Canon and Nikon. If I switched to Nikon, I'd have to repurchase all my lenses. I do think, however, that Canon and Nikon are the two best digital camera makers out there today. I've used a Canon Rebel XT, Canon 20D and Canon 30D. Unfortunately, I finally wore out my Rebel XT after shooting well over 100,000 pictures with it. It served me quite well. Now, I have a Canon 7D on order and am anxiously awaiting for it to arrive. I typically shoot well over 100,000 pictures in the average year. Being an avid railfan (one who loves trains), I primary shoot trains. However, I really enjoy sports photography and I have also shot several weddings and a couple of airshows too.

My Portfolio

TRAINS As I mentioned above, I am a huge an of trains and that is where a lot of my photographic effort goes. In fact, I have an entire website (ColoradoRailfan.com) devoted to my rail photography. Here are a few train pictures I thought I'd share. You can click on the thumbnail to enlarge it. For these train pictures, you'll be taken to my website where you can read a description of the picture. Hit back on your browser to return to this page.

SPORTS I have two daughters and they both are now playing soccer. Prior to them starting soccer, I had done a bit of sports photography, but once they started playing, I found out just how much I enjoyed it! Below are some pictures from my oldest daughters soccer games. (Note that my Dad and I both sell our sports photography through ColoradoActionPhoto.com. That is the reason for the watermark across the soccer images). In addition, I included a few baseball pictures. I was able to shoot a highschool state championship game in Coors Field (from the photo box next to the home dugout)! A baseball rests on the dirt in Coors Field While a baserunner slides in to second, the second baseman throws the ball toward first to get a double play. The baserunner rounding second is watching to see if the left fielder catches the a fly ball to end the inning. The pitcher is trying to pick off this baserunner, who dives back toward first base. This baserunner REALLY does not want to get tagged out. Nice job avoiding the tag! Coors Field reflects in the sunglasses of the home coach as he watches his team on the field.

WEDDINGS I don't consider myself a professional photographer because I don't make my living shooting weddings! I actually am a computer programmer professionally, which is great as it lets me build my own websites! All that said, I have shot several weddings in the past and here are a few samples. The bride and her sister Bride and groom hands crossed over the bouquet. (no flash used) The bride and grooms ring rest on the vest of the groom as he is getting ready prior to the start of the wedding. (no flash used) I enjoy the effect that can be created by removing color for a portion of a photo! The bridge prepares to throw her bouquet to the waiting crowd... (no flash used) ...and the waiting crowd gladly leaps for the bouquet! (no flash used) A silhouette of the bride and groom kissing in front of a stained glass window.

MISCELLANEOUS Here are a handful of pictures that don't really fall in to any of the above categories! I did mention air show photography above. Rather than include those pictures here, I'm going to direct you to a website I have setup for the air show from 2010. You can click here to see those pictures!
