My son Dylan and I went out last night for our first attempt at spinning steel wool. The results were good, but less than stellar. This was mainly because I bumped the camera in the dark and decentered the composition of the photo. Oh well, live and learn. Props to Dylan for doing such a good job despite almost catching on fire.

And so it begins...
This is my first blog. I guess I’m writing it as a way to keep myself on target with my photographic goals. My main goal being simply to constantly strive towards improvement.
My interest of the day is night photography. This is troublesome because it’s now summer which means that sunset isn’t until 8:30. So basically I can’t even begin shooting until 10:00. My day job requires me to be up by 5AM, so this limits me to about an hour on week nights. Add to this the need to get pretty far outside of city limits to avoid light pollution when doing long exposures, and my dilemma becomes apparent. It therefore looks like I will have to limit myself to Saturday night shoots regarding exposure lasting more than 30 seconds.
As I embark on my little photographic journey, it is worth mentioning that I intend to make notes of any tips and/or advice that may prove useful to others who share my passion for photography and happen to come across my site. It is my sincere hope that at some point, someone somewhere will find this blog useful and be able to apply something I post to help them further their photographic goals.
Thank you for visiting. Check back often. Enjoy.
