South Park, CO

Colorado is one of the most beautiful places in our fair country, I think.  My folks live in South Park, CO, and it is an indescribable kind of place.  I just got to spend a week out there and it was wonderful.  I was lucky enough that my trip landed on the peak color weekend.  It was awesome!!  Enjoy the aspens at 10,000 feet of elevation!!  ;-)

Photo Tip of the Week

Shoot Quickly!!

If you are like me, you are often trying to shoot a subject that may move, stop smiling or just get tired of waiting on you.  So start shooting quickly so you don't lose the moment.

Practice getting quicker and quicker on the draw.

At this point, don't worry about taking too many pictures - you can always delete them later!!  ;-)

As the motto of one of BetterPhoto old t-shirts states, "Shoot First, Ask Questions Later." 

Check out these shots and the variety of emotion that shooting quickly enabled me to capture:

Photo Tip of the Week

Move in closer!!

Take a few steps to get even closer to your child or pet or loved one!  Or, if you've got zoom capability, zoom in until they fill the viewfinder.  Background distractions will be obscured and you will be able to show off your little one (or big one!!) even better.
