People and Events

People and Events photos at various gatherings

These photos of people and events were taken with my Speedlite attached to an hand bracket to eliminate shadows. The group photos with me in it were taken with my Speedlite mounted on a tripod, and using a remote timer in my hand, I clicked–and voila, group photo with me–yeah!

I will be taking a Wedding and Event Photography class shortly. I will continue to learn and grow in this field that I love.

Flowers and Trees

Flowers and trees taken at Reed Creek and Phinizy Swamps, and my own backyard. More to come. The first tulip photo was taken with a macro lens. I am taking a Macro class shortly and you will be the recipient of my newfound knowledge.

Animals

These Animal photos are very varied. Some, such as the snake and duck, are from Phinizy Swamp–a beautiful nature preserve in Augusta, GA. As you can see, I am luck enough to have two gorgeous parrots–A Red Sided Eclectus and a Ruby Macaw. The dogs were taken at Clarks Hill Lake, in Augusta.

Landscapes

These landscapes were taken in various locations in Augusta, Ga. Some of the others were taken on my trip to Naples, Fla, while visiting my grandson, Aaron. I intend to add lots more photos as I start my travels, which is one of my goals. Life is a journey and documenting it in photos is everlasting.
