Another River Market Stanger

Ive seen this young lady at the River Market frequently.  I was having a moment with my camera were I couldn’t get it to do what I wanted.  Finally I got the settings right and I looked up and she was watching me.  I pointed at the camera she smiled and I clicked.  A bit soft.  Just finished making a print to bring to her.

After Watching a Kelby Training video @KelbyTraining

Well I watched a couple of Kelby Training video’s and after watching Moose Peterson’s video twice, I decided it was time to give it a shot.  I was disappointed when I discovered I couldn’t afford to rent the fancy lens he used,but I’ve got a 100-300 and I tried to use it to it’s fullest.  These are three of my first attempts. It’s a whole different perspective laying at their level and not looking down at the birds.

I will have to get some biggar cards, though.   I filled up those old 2gig CF cards REAL fast.  I think a couple of higher speed 16 gig’s will fit into the budget.

These photo’s were taken in the afternoon of a Word Wide Photo Walk in Destin FL.  I was disappointed in the morning, because I don’t seem to have an eye for street stuff, and def not for artistic work.  I’ll post some other of those pics later.  I was very happy with how I progressed over the afternoon with the shore birds though.  I”m learning about exposure compensation and to take into account the reflected light.

World Wide Photo Walk & Others Peoples Stuff

Next weekend I’m attending on of Scott Kelby’s world wide Photo Walks.  I’m taking the family, going to spend the whole weekend in Destin, FL.  I’ve rented a Canon 7D so daughter can use mine and I can play with a higher level camera than the one I’ve got.  Will have to share lenses though.

I’m slowly motivating myself to get out and shoot some more.

Last night I went to 1st friday at the Railroad Square Art Park.  Had fun, should have work shorts I had forgotten how humid it is in FL.

I looked at other photographers work and again, If I ever get my but out of bed, I can do as “technically” competent work as the people selling there.  I just don’t have a decent enough body of work to really set up shop.  I’m hoping my motivation holds here.
