Remembering a shot I had not even looked at for a long time and it caught my eye. The Space Needle in Seattle, Washington. This was shot at F/4 1/6 sec. at ISO 100 45mm on a Canon 24-105 IS lens handheld.
Been working on taking a picture of the flag for a competition this week and I am really having a hard time finding an image I like. This image was shot to honor all the veterans who have paid the ultimate price
So glad to be able to post this today, my desktop computer went bye-bye yesterday and thanks to a friend, we were able to give it cpr and save it from the hammer I had in my hand. So, after ghosting and updating my stuff, I tried an image to see if all was well, and so far so good. Here is a little sand fence along St. Augustine Beach I shot for the shadows and just goofing off.
Walked outside and took some shots tonight of the storm. I didn't have my tripod or remote, so I handheld and tried to guess or time the shot the best I could. I missed more than I got, but it was a blast watching the sky light up just as I put camera down to rest. These were shot at ISO 800 F/4 1/20th on high speed drive. Got Lucky.
After taking the kids to Downtown Disney to see the Circue du Soleil, which is great by the way, I stopped and took this picture on the way back to the car. I just liked the look of the sky and the palm trees

Have been to Disney World with the grandkids and I have a ton of family pictures, but I did get to take a few shots of the fireworks at Disney and Epcot. These are all hand held, usually with a grandkid hanging on, so I am really happy with these.
I was out running around after the storm looking for something to shoot and saw some fishermen and after talking to them, I asked the man if I could take his picture and he said ok. I am not comfortable taking pictures of people, but this was a good time to practice. These were shot using a fill flash and high shutter speed to get the skky in the background to look the way it did. I am off to Disney World with the grandkids today, so that ought to be wild, 3 days of Mickey and the kids.
