Foggy Gettysburg




























I had to drop off an assignment to Celebrate Gettysburg magazine, so I was happy for a reason to cross the Mason-Dixon line.

It was misty and foggy as we set out for Gettysburg, the most famous small town in America, if not the world. The weather made me happy as I would get to shoot the battlefield with fog. It wasn't a dense fog, but enough to make some good images. It is another reminder to keep a camera handy and do not worry if it's not a sunny day, as there are still pictures out there.

MD Irish Festival





























What to do on a cold and wet Saturday?

Shirley and my sister, Jane came up with an answer. A real good answer. The Maryland Irish Festival. I am not Irish, but I like the food beverage and music.

As usual my camera went along. I have shot at the state fair grounds before and knew the lighting. What I didn't expect was that each booth had different lighting. So it kept me my toes. The stages were either in low light or the light was uneven. That was fine as it offered a challenge.

When you go inside to shoot, remember to set the camera settings back to outside when you leave.
