In her daddy's arms for her first birthday party. I was surprised how comfortable she seems looking into a camera.

What child doesn't love grabbing after bubbles?

This photo starts with a sunset in Nassau after a storm. The clouds gave way to the power of the sunset.

Not sure how much snow we had here in Michigan, but I shoveled my driveway three times and there is still 4 inches on it now. Thought I would take a b

Took a break from the wintery blustery snow. 1st attempt at long shutter openings. Thanks to Wayne5 for his tips and pointers project.

This came out interesting. Take a careful look and see the bulb is off. The sunset is behind the light fixture.

Location

Took this in Rochester MI at a fourth of July Fireworks event.

Time

Nightime

Lighting

The lighting was night

Equipment

Surprisingly I used a small Sony sureshot, with no tripod.

Inspiration

This "shoot" was probably what accelerated my interest in photography. It was by pure accident. My wife and I were at the fireworks with our grandchildren. I just started taking pictures and the next day both of us were amazed at how incredible they came out. I took about 175 picture and about 130 of them were keepers. Don't think I have had a success rate like that since.

Editing

I did do some enhancing in Photoshop and cropping to balance the pictures

In my camera bag

Well today I have medium priced DSLR's from Nikon and Canon, with telephoto and Macro lenses. I used a monopad to reduce the amount of blurry pictures. I am hoping to soon purchase a high end camera. But I still work full-time outside of photography, so I take purchases a little slower than with ones that were making me income.

Feedback

Get out and shoot, you never know what you can capture until you try.
