This was my experiment at doing a panning shot. It was way to bright to really pull it off, but I like how Dinah in the swing is appearing stationary while the world is moving around here. Even in though I couldn’t get the shutter time I wanted, I think this is pretty successful.
Also, my children rock: 
Both of these were attempts to use the knowledge I got yesterday.
It was sunglasses day AND photo day at school today. Stylin!
Bonus photo by Sarah, but included because its a great picture of Evan: 
I do the “portrait with dept of focus” trick too much, but the subjects I have make it so easy.
Bonus for more mask detail:
“Daddy, take a picture, he looks like Tron” – Evan. I’m training him well. Also, consider this my Oscar tribute.
Dinah was invited to an ice skating party by a classmate. The classmate and her sister participate in ice skating competitions and each did their routine as part of the party. This gave me a good excuse to play with the telephoto lense. I’m not entirely happy with what I took of the skaters as the light caused the camera to kick back to ISO3200, so they are grainy as hell. Today’s bonus photo is here because I couldn’t pass this up without showing a photo of Dinah her first time in ice skates.
I think it needs some creepy eye holes…
