Slowly but surely, this site is coming together. I should have the galleries working in the next week, I hope, and then I'll start actually telling people about it. For some reason, my email address at the bottom doesn't actually get to me, so if you want to get in touch with me, click the Contact button at the top.

From Friday night, Seesaw Ensemble at Portugalia:

It's incredibly dim there, so I had to embrace the motion blur. It works for this shot, I think.  



With 1/4s shutter speeds, there was no way I was going to get sharp photos from my telephoto zoom lens, with a maximum aperture of f/4 at this focal length. It gave me a chance to try some other stuff. I practiced zooming the lens at the Followers show a while back and got only 1 decent shot out of the bunch. It was the same thing this night. I'm learning that the subject has to be in the center of the frame, and then cropped into a better composition later.



Who says you need flash?
