Today we woke to cloudy skies again! It supposed to rain again today. After all the media attention about the draught, they are now worrying about the possibility of flooding. The ground is so saturated that there is no where for the water to go.
Today's rant is about people who do not pull over to the side of the road when an emergency vehicle with the sirens blaring is behind them. Seconds can mean the difference between life and death in these situations. Please always pull over as soon as you can and let them go by.
Here is an article about why you should consider doing some photography with your old film camera. This is something I don't think I will ever do. I love my Digital Camera so much I can not see myself ever going back to film.

This link is an example of why you always want to be aware of the background when you are shooting. Make sure you position people so there is not distraction in the background. You do not want to have the picture look like they have a tree growing out of the top of their head. When you are shooting indoors be aware of what is on the walls as well. If you have your subject step forward from the wall you can blur the background or take the pictures off the wall while you are shooting, when possible.

The print I ordered from Adorama came today. I have to say I am impressed with the quality. They had a introductory special so it was only $5.00 for a 16 by 20 inch print, plus tax and shipping. The regular price for a 16 by 20 print is $9.60. Right now they are offering 8 by 10 inch prints for only $1.00 plus tax and shipping. Here is a link to their new photo printing service.

I have uploaded some of my Minnesota photos to the Capture Minnesota website. They have different Photo Contests going all the time. The other members vote for their favorites so it is quite democratic. If you have some shots you would like to share you can click on the link below. You will need to set up an account with them.

This Lakeville restaurant is not technically in Downton Lakeville but it is really close. I am talking about Cosa Nostra's Italian Restaurant. It is located next to my other favorite restaurant, Teresa's Mexican Restaurant. They just expanded the restaurant and added a cool bar area. The food is wonderful and they have nice wine list. Check out their specials and give them a try.
