Late Afternoon Swim

The kids went for one more late afternoon swim before we had to go pick up Heather from camp for the day. The kids posed for me and allowed me to play around with my camera. I'm learning to use my flash off camera. In this shot, the flash was about 3 feet away from me on my right (camera right). This was triggered wirelessly from my camera.

They make good models.

Right after this shot, we retrieved Heather, and got cleaned up to go to "The Jazz Corner". A very cool jazz club and restaurant in town. They had a fantastic quartet playing tonight. More to come on that in my next post.

I'm So Proud Of My Wife

As I mentioned in my first post, we are visiting Hilton Head Island, because my wife is training at the world renown Van Der Mere tennis camp. She is training and studying to become a Tennis Pro. She love tennis... always has (not as much as she loves me, though!).

This picture was actually taken on our way to Hilton Head when we stopped for lunch in Savannah. We strolled around the historic area of town along the river. We stopped in a park where people would gather for town announcements and such (probably public trials as well). In this park is where the Declaration of Independence was read to the townspeople of Savannah.

My wife is the most gorgeous woman in the world. I'm so lucky! I'm very proud of her.

For the photo geeks out there, this was a strobist shot.  I have a SB-800 on a voice activated stand, camera left using CLS.  Triggered via on-camera flash in commander mode and remote SB-800 in TTL.
