We will see, but I will lay down the law with her. In a friendly way of course. The plus is I have a great relationship with the family.

for the first time in a year & 1/2 or so. How is everyone doing? I have been off UH for a while. Anyone want to start a discussion and inspire me?

The wedding is for the daughter of a good friend of mine who moved to Tennessee a few years ago. I did her senior pictures when they lived locally in Ohio. They are getting married in a barn (I know lighting considerations) near a lake and scenic surroundings. I explained that I could not bring along my usual second shooter and they have a "friend" that will help me. I am not concerned about any of it, but thought some of you wedding gurus might want to start up some discussion to get this group going again ...

Thanks!

Thanks! Nature does most of the work.

Not really, just a hummingbird feeder that I stalk. The vulture, I was sitting in the driveway watching my grandson when I saw it circling (maybe it was watching me) and I ran in to get the camera and lens set up for the humming bird. Lucky shot on the vulture (turkey vulture) as it swung around low enough to snap and my initial settings worked.

Both in the backyard.

I love that image Lens Cap. I know with my grandchildren it is a struggle to get a natural expression and I have to snap quickly when that happens. I do like the red reduction that Ed has provided. Maybe a bit too hazy for me, but it is growing on me. I think this will be a treasured photo in the family album.

They always go quickly. When you stop them there are some interesting poses.

Thanks

Not many interesting birds this time of year so followed the sparrow.

Sparrows can pose also.

Ed said "Perfect" and I really can't add any more other than to agree 100%. I can see why the newspaper used it. It is a moment, but a moment that impacts everyone and tells the COVID wedding story. Wonderful, nice job!

Very awesome!

Actually, I have a friend living near Rocky Top Tennessee. They love it.
