Ok, so I’m not the best at photographing Fireworks…. Yet ;). Right not I am learning to shoot at night with manual settings. None of this auto exposure setting stuff you see in point and shoot cameras. Not that they’re bad, photography is an art/science. Anyways, if you have any tips for me or any comments, please let me know. I think I will have a couple more of these in the coming days.

I was in the street setting up to shoot some local fireworks (not the kind the city does, but the kind a local police officer on that lives on my street has, don’t get me started). As I was setting up, I was taking some test shots to see how some low light photo’s would look. This isn’t a shot of fireworks today, but if any came out half decent I will include them on another day. It will take time to go through the hundreds of photo’s I took. Anyways, I shot a street light trying to see what the current settings on my camera would give me. Shooting in low light can be tricky. I hope you like it. I was really testing my abilities for when the real fireworks come to town.

I was walking with my wife and kids in a park called Holmes Field. It was an awesome day for a stroll with the family. We saw what looked like a bench, but with weeds and grass growing through every nook and cranny. Look at the size of those leaves. I guess the City of Worcester hired the wrong landscaping crew.

This is another photo I took during the photo walk the other day. This was my son’s idea and of course was a good one. He really has an eye for this stuff.

My wife told me to look at our deck glass door for a good photo op. Look who I saw just sitting there waiting for, well what ever spiders wait for.

My son and I went on a photo walk and found this wabbit. So I shot it… With my camera of course. No guns were involved.
No animals were harmed in the shooting of this photo.

Here is a look directly up the corner of a building nearby my house. I tried to create a triangle design with the photo. Let me know what you think and send me your suggestions on how I could have made this photo even better.

This little guy was outside my home office window. I know i have another shot of a squirrel, but this one was so close. I was able to get the details like his whiskers, his mouth which looks like he’s smiling and even his acorn that he is munching on.

I did the decorating for the party the other day. I put streamers on the ceiling fan in the family room. Looked like a cool photo opportunity. It shows motion of the fan even when I freeze it with a photo.

Today we had my son’s 8th birthday party. I captured a bunch of photo’s of it of course, but this one of him making his birthday wish was priceless. I just hope he didn’t wish for the keys to my car. He more likely wished for 100 more wishes.
