I live in Birmingham, Michigan, with my husband Kyle, our son Nathan and our daughter Evelyn. The blog is named for our late dog Pete, a Rhodesian Ridgeback who died in 2014. Late in 2015, we returned to the US after living five years overseas (Seoul, South Korea and Königstein im Taunus, Germany).

Photo Walk

Tonight my photography teacher invited us on a photo walk.  I got my things all together and headed down to her apartment.  

Now, I have this habit of always forgetting one thing.  I remember the food, bib and drink but forget the spoon.  I remember the swimsuit, swim diapers and towel but forget the lotion.  I remember the phone, keys and wallet but forget the shopping list.  I remember my tripod, camera and additional lens but forget my base.

Crap.

Without the base, my tripod is useless and the whole point of this exercise is to play with light and take pictures at dusk and in the dark, which means your camera needs to be very still.

Crap. Crap. Crap.

My instructor has a monopod, which was helpful.  I managed to get some shots but most of them I was just too wiggly (even if I held my breath.)  Anyway, it was fun and I can't wait to go out again, because now I at least know some fun places to try!
