A little raw video to help people get the feel for it

A little music after hockey is always fun. Parmalee following @mkeadmirals.bsky.social vs. Henderson Silver Knights 3/28/26

Making up for lost time on Bluesky buy sharing some semi-recent few photos. Here's one that's not to everyone's taste, and that's OK. One-fifth second exposure of a ski jumper reaching the point of takeoff during training for the Continental Cup meet in Iron Mountain, Michigan.

Making up for lost time on Bluesky with what seems like a photo dump but really is just meant to be some of my favorites from the past couple of months. Here's an Anna's hummingbird in Fountain Hills, Arizona, from February.

Dave Kallmann @davekallmann.bsky.social · 11/03/2026

I got into a stretch of a social media saturation and neglected Bluesky, so now I'll probably overshare for a bit. Here's a favorite from a recent Dropkick Murphy's concert in Milwaukee.

Hung with about 60 like-minded photographers and one really accommodating short-eared owl for an hour before dusk 12/17/25 in rural Calumet County, Wisconsin. #birds

I've been waiting for years for moonrise to line up like this over downtown Milwaukee from this spot, eight miles away, so long that I pretty much forgot about it. Not sure why I thought to look for the time and location today, but I'm glad I did.

In Crandon, Wisconsin, there’s a country band playing in the middle of the afternoon on a side street after a Labor Day parade. Who joins in but @nascar.com truck champ Mike Skinner. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Some scenes just don't make sense, like a Scottish Highland cow peeking out of the spruce trees along the edge of a farm field in northern Wisconsin.

Hey, as long as we're building that motorsports community, let's have a couple of photos from High Limit Racing sprint cars at Wisconsin's 141 Speedway, a track I hadn't visited until my 36th season of covering racing in the state.

Don't get much chance to shoot concerts other than after @mkeadmirals.bsky.social games, so this was a nice change of pace. Think I had a harder time keeping up w/ Chase Matthew than I did with the hockey game itself. Whew!

Dave Kallmann @davekallmann.bsky.social · 05/01/2025

Went as a writer to cover Wisconsin in the Frozen Confines series, not as a photographer, but if you're at hockey games at Wrigley Field and don't make a snapshot or two, that's an opportunity missed.

Dave Kallmann @davekallmann.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

Going back to last winter as I try to keep up with posting more regularly. Yes, it's cropped pretty heavily but it holds up OK for most purposes, actually amazingly compared to the analog days. It's Troy Grosenick, then of the Milwaukee Admirals.

020

Dave Kallmann @davekallmann.bsky.social · 20/12/2024

OK, let's try a black-and-white version. I'd been thinking about this scene since last winter. Had the opportunity Thursday to go for some photos and a cone. Leon's Frozen Custard is a south side Milwaukee landmark dating to 1942 and enjoyed by members of our family almost that long.

Dave Kallmann @davekallmann.bsky.social · 20/12/2024

This place has been a family favorite for four generations, soon to be five. Been thinking about this scene since last winter. And no, I wasn’t loitering. I bought a double cone and ended up with blue moon on the Z9.

Dave Kallmann @davekallmann.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

It's been suggested we should swap out Fourth of July fireworks for a winter scene on the wall that bridges the kitchen and dining room. This from January 2023, rural northeast Wisconsin, was one option.

Who says basketball is a vertical sport? Brookfield East at Pius XI in a Milwaukee-area girls high school game 12/17/24. You can find a gallery on JSOnline if you're a fan of either school, of girls basketball in general or of keeping me in business.

Dave Kallmann @davekallmann.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

Trying to post more, so I'm going back to the start of 2024, a little of this and a little of that. January sunset in Red Rock Canyon near Las Vegas. Sunsets seem to do well.

Dave Kallmann @davekallmann.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

In my continuing effort too post more, I'm going back to the start of 2024 and sharing photos, some sports, some nature and whatever else I may find. They're not necessarily a "best of" but are representative of the year. Gotta love front-row fans at a @mkeadmirals.bsky.social hockey game.

Dave Kallmann @davekallmann.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

I've decided I haven't posted enough, so I'm going back to the start of 2024 and sharing photos, some sports, some nature, some better, some worse. I like the weirdness of the reflection and the highlights from shooting through the plexiglass.

Dave Kallmann @davekallmann.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

I don't really know what story a 1/40-second photo of a goalie on the move tells. But it didn't make sense to skip the opportunity. (Also, feature story coming next week-ish.)

Dave Kallmann @davekallmann.bsky.social · 09/12/2024

Hadn’t shot anything but sports for a while, so it was good to not only chase owls but also catch an intense sunset afterward.

The lights and court are modern but the 74-year-old arena still has an old-school vibe, so I played around in post and gave a couple of photos from UW-Milwaukee vs. Wofford an '80s throwback look. Did I accomplish anything? Not really. But it was fun.

Today it's the sports photographer version of Dave posting. This is Wisconsin high school football state semifinals, Muskego (in black) vs. Mukwonago. If you like the run, appreciate the blocks that makes it happen.

Dave Kallmann @davekallmann.bsky.social · 15/11/2024

First post. As a Milwaukee-based sportswriter/editor with a strong photography interest, I'm not sure yet what I'll be sharing here, whether it's work stories or photos or wildlife, nature and landscape photos or some combination of that and other things. We'll start with some nature near me.
