you can take photos at night. i did.
we were down on the beach and after the sun, ever so gently, set itself down behind the dunes,
darkness, like an old quilt worn thin from years of loving, fell over us.
our son had picked up this hat at the "take it now or it's gone in the morning" lost and found and we laughed at his resemblance to huck finn. if only he'd had a fishing pole.
too soon, i was out of light.
i moved my iso up to 12800. it worked. i captured huck finn.
my hubby is always my pack mule.
when we're together, he carries whatever bag my camera goodies are in and never complains...
even if it's a floral beach bag.
the night this was taken, he was still carrying my daughter's purse. i'm sure he hadn't even paid any attention to the extra weight, as he's so used it.
i don't know what i'd ever do without this man in my life.
he's pretty much my everything.
this is part three of our beach vacation.
i hope you have a chance to go back a few posts and catch up.

happy weekend

ReplyDeleteOh, Beth -- what a wonderful collection of photos of a time I know you'll never forget. I had trouble reading the text -- it was awfully light -- but the photos spoke volumes!

I just love visiting the beach with you and your camera. When I see the pictures you take at the high ISO and then with your little lens baby, it makes me want a new camera. For now I will just enjoy what your camera and the artist (you) can do. Beautiful! Love the picture of your daughter and fiance hugging.
ReplyDeleteJust glorious. You've got that lensbaby down! And wow, a photo that sharp at an iso that high? Amazing! Thank you so much for bringing the beach to those of us who are high, dry, and landlocked!
