Little Mia-updated

The lighting was kind of hard, the subject fast-moving, but this was oh, so worth it. Mia loves to change costumes, giggle, show me all of her cool stuff and, mostly, snuggle with her parents and grandparents. After some editing adjustments, the photo of Mia looks much better!

going to the zoo

I visited Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa, FL. There were some of my favorite animals that were all waiting for me to click away! It was a bit sunny and in spite of the polarizing lens, these are a bit bright. Sunny is good though, it is February after all.

Gus...in a flash

A friend, of whom I consider to be an exceptional source of all things photographic (among other talents), was showing me some flash photography, capturing ambient light. I probably should have turned down the flash a notch but dang, this was at 1/13th of a second. My hands shake like a hippie going through DTs, look how sharp this is. Renee, you light up my world, I tell ya!
BTW, Gus was not happy to be awakened by my curiosity, that's what kills 'em. No worries, he has a few more lives left.

She sells sea shells

  I dunno, colored pix of shells are always expected. I changed it up to be black and white. You can really see the detail in the sand and the ridges on the shells. Now I want to do the "stoop and scoop".
