Wonderful Wednesday Blog

A Blog About My Life, Travel, Photography & Candy.

It is yet another nice day here in Minnesota. With all the harsh weather we have here we really appreciate the nice days. 

There is some kind of flowering tree outside of the door of the candy store.  There was enough wind that it blew pink petals all over the sidewalk in front of the store. It looked like a bride was going to be walking down the aisle any minute.  Sadly, I had to sweep the sidewalk.

This article is an introduction to Night Photography which is also referred to as Low Light Photography. Once you learn this you will have so much fun with it. You will need to learn how to shoot in manual mode to get the best results.  A tripod is a must and you will need to use your timer or purchase a remote trigger for your camera.

For those of you who are now going "How Do I Shoot In Manual Mode?" here is an article for you. I know I was really intimidated by this. What I did when I started out was to write down the F Stop and Shutter speeds for the preset modes on my camera. That way I at least had a starting point. It is challenging at first but once you learn it you can be so much more creative with your Photography.  If you have questions Please feel free to contact me.

There are several All Inclusive Resorts offering Kids Stay Free Programs for summer travel. Some of them have free nights if you stay more than 5 nights.  Give me a call for more information.

I am working on making up coupons for free stuff to hand out at Thursday's Family Fun Night in Downtown Lakeville.  It is going to be a fun event.  Click on the link below for more information.
