My daughter wanted to take senior photos in a wheat field, so she found a white dress and I found a local farmer willing to allow us access. I like th

When my husband and I go on road trips, he always drives and I scan the roadsides for interesting shots (I call this my drive-by shooting). I spied a

I passed this old house on my way to a neighboring town, snapping a photo as we drove by. I always wonder what the inside looks like...

This is the strong storm that occurred October 2021. I have only seen Northern Lights like this once. I was on my way to one of my regular spots and

Friends go all out for the 4th of July. I was afraid the trees would really be in the way, but I like the silhouettes.

My first trip to South Dakota's Badlands was eye-opening--the beautiful colors and vastness of the landscape. It was nearly 100° that day; I mis

As we headed to church on a foggy Sunday morning, the Vergas Cemetery was back-lit by the rising sun.

Location

My daughter and I decided to have a little bonfire. I like to practice my night photography and we listen to the night sounds in the woods of Northern Minnesota.

Time

It was late evening...probably around 10 pm

Lighting

The lighting was provided by her cellphone!

Equipment

Canon t3i with 18-55mm lens on the tripod. I used the 2-second timer and didn't even have to tell her to sit still for 20 seconds--the cell phone keeps her mesmerized.

Inspiration

The desire to learn about and take better photos in low light.

Editing

I used lightroom to lighten it up a little more and reduce some of the noise.

In my camera bag

I usually carry my newer Canon t6i body, extra battery and charger, lens cleaning kit, external flash, Tamron 70-200 lens, tripod, and pocket notebook. I have the rest of my gear in a big tool bag and put that in the car when we go exploring.

Feedback

Always have a tripod for low light. Be patient and take a lot of shots. Don't let your subject know what you are doing. ;)
