Kids Photos

When  photographing children , one  must  acquire and  maintain  a  lot  of  PATIENCE !!
I think these three  were  fed  way too much  caffeine  and  sugar !!

"Suddenly  a  magical  thing  happens,
    Where  you  start  seeing  pictures;
  You're  relaxed ;  You,re  observant ;
You're  in  almost a  meditative  state.

And  that's  when  the  good  pictures  come!"

Fall colors  from  Morrison Springs in Walton County Florida .
Of the boat landings along the  Choctawhatchee River that I
 have  visited  so far,  Morrison Springs
has  had the  best Fall colors .
Ether a polarizer filter  or maybe a graduated neutral density filter
would  have  made it pop a little better ?

My first try at an art/photography  booth  .

We had a very good time.

Practicing with a new shutter remote cord attachment  on  my  camera  mounted on a  tripod.

Worked quite  well.  Now  to find  a  better place  to  shoot  a  sunset  landscape  like  with 

 maybe   the  railroad  tracks, a neighborhood  lake  or  pond  in  the  foreground  to  make

  it  a  little  more interesting ?

"I think the most  dangerous  thing a  photographer  can  do
is to go out  with  a  picture  already  in  his  mind's  eye.
While  you're  thinking  about  what  you  want  to  happen
you're  very  likely  missing  what  is  happening."

Photographing Little League stuff can be hard  at times , shooting through
the fence and not getting the blur of the chain link can be challenging .
A monopod  may  have  helped?
