Wedding Photos

I think most of us bring a camera to a wedding even if we are not the photographer. The problem is, the photos always end up with heads of the people sitting in front of you in it. Yes, they are a part of the big day, but you don't necessarily want them in the photos. Well, I went to a friends wedding a couple weeks ago and I was not the photographer. I was happy to be a part of the many heads in the audience, so I could enjoy the day with them. But I still have to take photos........





I love to take photos of the set up before the Bride and Groom walk down the aisle. There are no heads and I can walk around and take photos without upsetting the photographer.






Notice, in this photo I accidentally had my focus on the background instead of the candles. But I think it adds some interest to the photo. 






This photo I didn't mind the audience in the photo. It tells the story of what is happening. Here the flower girl is walking down and everyone is watching her do her very important job for this big day.







Here is another photo of the flower girl. I took this one from my seat by zooming way in. I did have to crop out some heads. 







This little cutey just deserved to have her photo taken. 








And of course the Bride. There were so many more photos I wanted to take and did take, but these are just a few. 
Also, when I go to a wedding, I try not to bring my big camera and all its gadgets. I have a smaller one that fits in my purse and makes me appear a part of the crowd. Again, this is to keep the photographer on duty happy. It is always nice to ask permission to take photos if you want to get more photos of the reception and dance. You don't want to step on any toes. HeHe.....ok that was bad!

County Fair!!!!!!

Well, ok, it wasn't exactly the county fair. We call is Prescott Valley Days. There is 3 or 4 days of activities all over our town. This was just one. I love the lights of the fair at night. It is so pretty.

I also love all the people that posed for my photos. hehe Of course, just kidding. But, seriously, the people add to the story of the photo.







The Ferris Wheel......every fair has one. This one was so beautiful!!!!

Friday the 13th Full Moon

I am not superstitious. Friday the 13th reminds me more of the scary movie than off the day when you need to be extra cautious because bad things happen. hehe   But I did take photos of the full moon that day.


 Unfortunately, I do not own a telephoto lens yet. 





So, I decided to get creative and take some shots of the moon peeking out from my rose bush.






This one is my favorite, because the moon looks like it is the rose bud.

Assignment: Low Light

 My assignment is low light! Hmmmm...what do I do besides the moon?


 Aha!!!! I will take photos of the yard lights I got for Mother's Day!


 I love these lights! They are the ones that are run on solar power. They go all night, changing colors. All sorts of different colors!

 I love how they turned out!!!
