I am in no way a great or even "good" photorgapher. I use photography as a past time but sometimes the criticism, both positive and negative make it a bit more stressful. I appreciate all the positive comments.
The pictures were taken with a Canon G9 point and shoot. Ironically, I forgot the battery for my D300 SLR and needed a backup camera to avoid cancelling the shoot. I have encouraged my girlfriend to keep the G9 in her purse for maximum flexibility. This camera is not that great with low light settings due to noise in high ISOs, even with Image Stabilization. THerefore I used a tripod for all photos. Some of the pictures are 4 seconds in length for the exposure. 3 3/4seconds too long for any hand-held shot. I am learning different techniques to help my compositions. Very hard to be creative when you are an analytical person. Again, thx for the criticism, both positive and negative.
