Finally Friday

It is finally Friday!  The weather is sunny, warm & breezy today in beautiful Downtown Lakeville.  I am looking forward to a weekend of no work only fun.  Saturday I am going on a Photo Shoot with my Photo Buddy Tina.  I will post some pictures next week.  Sunday is a Second Birthday party for my youngest Granddaughter, Kate.
I had a great evening last night with my Travel Agent friends.  We had a nice dinner and caught up with what is going on with everyone.   We, also, talked all the changes in the travel industry that are going on today.
Here is an article about photographing smoke.  I have tried shooting candles but not smoke specifically.  It is something fun to do and you can get some cool abstract shots.  I tend to do this type of things on rainy Sunday afternoons.  You might have to turn off the smoke detectors when you are shooting.  Do not forget to turn the smoke detectors back on when you are done.  If you find yourself in front of a campfire this summer give this a try too.

Here is an article about creating a photograph showing a vanishing point.  This is, also, referred to as leading lines in photography circles.  The intent is to draw the viewer's eye into the photograph and tell a story.

This shot was taken in Australia.  Here is a link to some other shots from that trip.

Here is a link to my friend, Michelle's, Facebook Business Page.   She is the owner of Michelle Lockwood Photography in Lakeville, Minnesota.  She has the most adorable photos posted today of 2 little ones giggling.  When I look at the pictures, I can almost hear their laughter.  These shots will bring a smile to your face.  A great example of telling a story through photography.
