A few weeks ago, if the green foliage didn’t give it away, I took some family portraits for our neighbors. I haven’t had all the time in the world the last few weeks with house projects, work, and extracurricular activities to finish editing.

And to be honest, at first I thought everything was out of focus and the color was terrible. All the photos originally came out looking very pale because of the green background. So I had some apprehension digging in and seeing what mistakes I made.

But after further inspection, I found some really great photos. It was just the color and cropping that needed tweaking. And I shot everything in RAW, so it was really easy to go back and change the temperature and exposure of the photos.

I guess the hardest part was working with a 2 and 3 year old. Man, they keep you on your toes.

The fireworks downtown may have not been the greatest, but the Motor Boat Club had a great show. Above are some of very first shots of fireworks with my SLR.

It took some practice, but I dialed into 800ISO, 3.5 sec exposure with a f/11. Of course I also used a tripod or everything would have been scribble lines.
