Behind in posting pics...

I'm behind in posting, but I've still be shooting and processing images.  Some good, some not so much....all the while trying learn the reasons why some are better than others.  I think I'm getting better at shooting in dim light as well as capturing movement and remembering to open up the shutter in order to smooth out the motion.  Purchased some really rocking presets that have been helping my images look even better.  Of course, I'm still trying to get the shots just right in the camera.  Loads more work to do to, but here's where I am right now.

These are the pics from the Pet Parade at the Nashville 2015 Fall Festival.

This little guy and his dog were so adorable, I couldn't resist.  I went over to talk to his parents and get their email address so I could send them a copy.  The dog is a Great Dane puppy.  Both, adorable.

This little girl was just adorable with this puppy and a blue heeler puppy.  They won the cutest puppy award.

This little guy was really stressed out when he wasn't with his momma.  Of course, I'm talking about the dog!

Love the look on this pup and owner's faces!

This is the blue heeler that belongs to the little girl above.  So adorable and so soft and fuzzy!

This is the little guy who wanted his mommy!  Finally!

This dynamic duo won best costume.

What a beauty!!!

This one was adorable and super friendly and how cute in the pink tutu!!

Homecoming 2015

Last night was Kyle's homecoming dance.  I first met this young man when he was three years old.  I don't know where the time went and I cannot believe what a young man he is now.  I was lucky enough to take some pictures of Kyle and his girlfriend before the dance.  His girlfriend is a beautiful, sweet young lady who is on the cheerleading squad.  I only mention that because she seems to naturally know exactly how to stand and pose!  I tried to take shots from the pick up through pictures at the park....a little bit of a story.  A couple of the shots are slightly blurry due to movement.  Despite that, I think they turned out okay.  It was grey and chilly out....nice if you're wearing two sweaters....downright cold if your dressed for the homecoming dance!

At Emily's house.

They were ready to get out of there.

A little blurred in parts, but I really wanted to show off Emily's awesome shoes!!

What a gentleman, putting her in the car.

At the park to take pictures and Emily runs into a friend.

Walking over to the waterfall.

Waiting for the adults to get organized.

Still waiting and now she's freezing!

Flowers

Corsage

This one probably turned out the best.

Black and white.

Kyle and his mother

Kyle and his father

All of us...the eyes are blurred.

Despite the goofing off, this shot turned out well.

Kyle, his mother, and other dad.

Kyle, Emily, and Emily's little brother

At this point, the kids were done with me and my pictures.  I could hardly get them to stand still.

Last one, I promise!!!  I can tell by the look on his face, Kyle is ready to go!

I caught this one by accident when I was just testing out the light and settings.

Again, another test shot.  I think Emily's mom will like to have it.

Kyle and his mom.  These are some extras that I decided to process just to have the extra choices.

They look so much alike.  Kyle--This is what you will look like when you're 42!!!

I haven't heard yet how the rest of the night went for the kids, but I'm sure "it was fine."  Haha.
