The best things in life are free....

Larry and I went on a date and didn't have to spend a dime! We went on a night shoot. Now that I have my new camera, I keep my old one as a back up or let Larry use it. So we took the cameras, tripod, and headed for the bridges. It was dark out and a bit chilly, but we enjoyed snapping pictures of traffic. I practiced panning - I describe this in better detail on my photo blog. I also got some light streaks and some awesome bridge pictures.



This weekend, I went to Spokane to an event called 'Time Out For Women' and enjoyed myself. On the way home, I saw a train and thought it would be neat to get some pictures up close. I sped up to beat the train to the next turn off and had a little time to set up for some shots. The size of it vibrated the ground around me. It was an adrenaline rush being that close to the train, I could have touched it as it went by. My goal was to get action pictures with a little blur for the motion effect.



While I was in Spokane, I was able to catch a little of the St. Patricks Day parade, it was like any other parade so it wasn't anything exciting. I did wander off near the convention center and this friendly seagull let me take pictures. I thought the spots on it's tail were pretty.
