Weekly Photo Challenge: Converge

Converge.  

Ben Huberman’s challenge of the week.   He says, “Photos are visual spaces where shapes and lines, objects, and people come together.”

And what classic photo from my Pittsburgh archives could I choose, except where the Allegheny River and the Monongahela River converge to create the great Ohio River?  Three Rivers!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Summer Lovin’

Summer Lovin’ weekly theme by Krista. I love summer.   School starts back August 19th. Savoring every moment.

Photographing Photography at the Beach

watching beach photographers 2

I observed other families and their photographers.  Hurry cause the light is going fast

See how the light changed in just a few moments

The light changes so quickly

 

watching beach photographers 9

I could see this large group from afar. The photographer seemed far away, too.  Used a monopod.

 

I did find an article on 10 Beach Photography Tips (from Australia)  I did try to take care to not get the fine sand and saltwater on my camera but could see where it could happen anyway.

 

 

No professional needed
Switch it up, photographers

 

 

Here is an anonymous group at the beach at night.

Because I didn’t get permission to blog the families I photographed at the beach recently, I am posting Berkeley, enthusiastic for the waves.
