It's been a while since my last posting. Since then, I've been involved with traveling (Dominican Republic), Non Profit Fundrasising Gala Event, Bridal Shower (2 of them), and other family gatherings. Plenty of pictures have been taken, and various lessons have been learned. Interestingly, I feel like I am taking fewer shots each time.
When I'm shooting less, I don't pay attention to those could be interesting photo opportunities. Let me elaborate...In my mind, there are two types of photographs: Those that are "general" - where people anywhere can comprehend, or Personal shots. Personal shots need not to be in a gallery. They are fun, intimate, and cannot always be shared with the wider audience. Sometimes, I feel like I should get a G9 for personal shots. But then again, do I really want to walk around with two cameras?
Tomorrow is Independence Day. I'm not sure how many years I've tried to captured fireworks with my camera. They never come out the way it is in my mind! Maybe these tips will help:

Key take-a-way:
ISO 100
Turn Flash off
Try f8 or f16
Shutterspeed is up in the air
I shall try again.
My camera is not surgically attached to me (yet). Still so much to learn, and so much to observe and capture!
