HAPPY EASTER!

The Presidential egg roll derby

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

Thought I'd just drop by my blog today. Today is Easter. I have a family dinner to attend after my wedding at 6pm today. It's a small wedding, Patriot package only, so I only have to show up to the beach with my snapshot camera. I wanna bloviate here for a second. Just in case you are not regular follower of my blog, yes, I do take pictures for the Patriot Package with a snapshot camera you can buy at Best Buy. It's not a digital SLR, but a high end snapshot camera. And I love it because I've gotten really good at using it. Here are some pictures that I snapped earlier this year with my snapshot G10.

By the way, that's not a typo. I had a double wedding last month, two Josh's, two different men, both in the military, married their sweethearts, Jennifer and McKenzie, at the same time. I'll blog about them in the next few weeks.

Now, not anyone can pick up a snapshot camera and take these shots. There's some talent involved here. I actually shoot my G10, 100% in manual mode. Meaning I control the shutter speed/aperture, and flash power to get the pictures you see. And I can do this because I understand light. Most photographers, especially digital photographers, shoot their cameras in auto mode most of the time.

The only touch-ups I have to do is to add a little contrast to touch up the shots, and the pictures are good to go. My dream is one day that digital will become as good as film so I can just carry my snapshot camera to ALL weddings!

Well, it's 4pm, I better get ready for my 6pm wedding, which means grabbing my G10 off the table and putting it in my pocket..haha. Happy Easter everyone.
