On Fridat evening I attended a workshop sponsored by the local camera club. The workshop turned out to be a "hands-on" learning experience with night photography techniques. The presenter teaches photography courses at the local community college. She gave the participants some basic tips pertaining to the subject while we were still meeting inside.
Next, we headed out with tripods and cameras to a local fair. Amusement park rides and games had been set up, so we thought that this would provide use with some coloful night shots.
I have to admit that I tend to shy away from low light situations. I really enjoy working with natural daytime light. However, I thought that this workshop would be a good learning experience for me. So, I worked with light and movement as the presenter suggested and considered it to be an experiement. We shot with slow shutter speeds while using the tungsten setting on our cameras. I am posting the photo of the "Vortex" amusement ride. I was pleased with the color and movement that I was able to capture with my camera.

I will write about some of the frustrations that I encountered wiht photographing at the fair in my next blog entry!

I've never done much night photography; always assuming it would be too hard! I'm encouraged to try by your experience, kathy. Write soon!!
