    I really enjoyed the class, Jesse made some provided good information and suggestions. The only drawback was because of Riverfest the streets had a lot of cones, signs and fences often blocking what could have been good shots.

    Hand out was very useful. Riverfest area prevented is from walking the predetermined route. It was very enjoyable walking around with other photographers, seeing how they looked at a scene, trying some different techniques.

    I search for the community park in my travels. I?m fascinated and encouraged by the dedication to green space for the locals even when surrounded by vast open spaces on the outskirts of town. The local community park conveys the values of the residents ? shared community space, walking paths and sidewalks, play structures for the children, park benches, fountains, trees, seasonal plantings and more. This downtown park in Mulvane, Kansas surpassed my expectations. I lingered which is what is inte

    Title or Location: Ellis Square, Savannah, GA
    I met young Miles at Ellis Square while he was doing some rather gymnastic break dancing. Luckily, for me, I was using my Nikon Z7 which allowed me to switch from raw to jpeg giving me 9 frames per second on motor drive. I was shooting aperture preferred and used f/8 the resulting shutter speed was 1/1600 of a second. 9fps sounds fast but I only had 6 nicely composed shots out of 120 exposures.

    I had spent the better part of the day moving silently through the edges of the chase looking to photograph deer. It was one of those days that seemed perfect on paper: overcast skies that softened the light, barely a breath of wind, and a camera battery at full charge. But nature is nothing if not humbling. The deer remained ghost-like, unseen despite hours of quiet patience and soft steps.By late afternoon my hopes had dimmed so I began the slow walk back to the car. The path wound through

    CPKC Rail Engine 9350 plus one heading east out of Winnipeg to deliver it's freight to Eastern Canada and possibly countries beyond on this beautiful summer day. Engine 9350 is a Diesel/Electric Locomotive which was built in February 2012 by General Electric and produces 4400HP which is capable to propel it to a top speed of 75mph. I love to photograph trains whenever I get a chance. To me they are iconic.
