Here in Minnesota, they light the lighthouse at Split Rock State Park once per year, on the anniversary
of the sinking of the Iron Ore ship the Edmund Fitzgerald. (yes,, the same ship from the Gordon Lightfoot song)
I was able to get up there on the 10th with several thousand of my closest friends, lol, to witness the lighting.
This is a 117 sec long exposure. I hope you like it.

These are my 10 Best Washtenaw County, Mich. Barn Shots taken in one day last week. Thanks to a great day, great weather, good directions, and moving very fast. I actually shot a total of 19 different barns. Most are historic barns from the Barn Preservation Network of Mich. website. Some Photoshop used.
Beautiful shots! I especially love the red barn with horse on barn and white horse in front. gorgeous!!

I'll start w a big thank you to Kat for her "Rock" challenge.
This challenge is about leaves. In some parts of the country, t'is the season for color change. In other places, leaves dry up or remain green. What leaves can you find to share in this challenge?

[quote=rwww80a]I have been taking pictures for 50 years (started with a Nikkormat FTn) with candids at the many weddings I have attended through the years.
This was a first!
In the ceremony program there was a statement (printed in the middle of the first page of the program) about the "excellent" photographers the couple had hired and not to take cell phone pix and post during the ceremony. I had my Nikon 7200 and took some pix and went to the reception took a few more. The sister of the bride came up to me and said cease and desist, I tried to tell her that what I was doing was to make an album of candids for a gift for the happy couple which I have done many other times. I stopped, didn't want to make the bride unhappy. I even had the grandparents come up to me as ask me to shoot some portraits of them - which I declined to do at that point because I wasn't the "official" photog. It made me feel bad for them later because I never saw the official wedding photogs over on the side of the room where they were sitting away from the noise.
Later the mother of the groom came up to me and explained that the picture statement in the program was done at the photographers insistence because the photographers didn't want their time and photos "devalued" by amateurs at the wedding. THEY are the picture takers and no one else can shoot the wedding? First I've heard of that! I had even been trying to stay out of the pros way so I wouldn't get in their way or ruin their shots! By the way, on the next day there must have been at least 10 postings on Facebook of cell phone vids and photos from the wedding and reception.
Are the pros really that paranoid and insecure about their work AND that amateurs could possibly make their work look bad or not as good? The photogs didn't even have the b...s to ask me themselves?
Yes in the past I have had several couples or families say that the album I put together as a gift was better than the pro BUT I think that because they were family.
Any other experiences or opinions???[/quote
I do the same thing. I love putting all the pics together for a book and people love them. So I was doing just that at my nieces wedding. I stayed out of the way and did my thing. Long story short, the "professional" that was hired did not have one decent picture from that day. He left right after the cake cutting. He was an absolute disaster. I wish I had taken more pics as my heart broke for my niece. she love the book I made but I wish I had stepped on toes that day.

unfortunately I have done the same thing but..... I was not on vacation, the images were not major in like I could re shoot and I realized it after 4 or 5 shots. I am so sorry this happened to you. I would be in tears over it.

I have the 7500 and I love it. I do most everything with it from sports with my grandchildren, to landscapes to flowers, animals and portraits. I have a lot of different lenses and each is a favorite for what I may be challenged with next. My walk around lens is an 18-300 and my fav. bought it last year and still learning all it has. I would buy it again. for the price and for what I do it is perfect. Photography is a hobby with me and has been since I was a child.
