Burning River

Memorial weekend, I took some 450 pictures. Not quite a personal best, but still, that's a lot of frames. A great many of these shots were at my niece's first birthday. She's sooo cute!

The picture on the right, is a shot I caught in Zumbrota Minnesota at Covered Bridge Park. In fact, this picture was taken from the covered bridge out one of it's windows.

The Zumbro River looks like it's on fire, that's actually just the reflection of a street light. It was a pretty long exposure, 6 seconds.

I'm still processing the pictures from the weekend and will be posting them as I finish going through them.

More of the classics

I took this picture a couple of years ago with my old HP point and shoot.

I've always been fascinated with movement and long exposures. This is one of the fun random pictures you get when you are just sitting around and playing. I set the camera in a manual mode (what could be manual) so that I could get a longer exposure.

I was merely guessing and playing with the functions. My daughter was spinning around with her sparkler at the cabin on 4th of July weekend.

Some how...it just worked.
