An Exercise In Photography

We had swim team pictures this morning.  Because we arrived early, there was a lengthy gap of time once Shi and Mar were done with their individual pictures until the team pic would be taken.  I snapped a couple of my own pictures while we waited.  Note:  I am not one of those good-enough-to-be-paid-for-it photographers (I know... I'm stating the obvious).  Someday, when the time and money are readily available, I may be.  It's great how almost anybody can take a great picture these days, with the right equipment.  For now, I have an older model point-and-shoot Sony Cyber Shot.  And the team picture didn't turn out great because there was some major glare coming off of the pool.  
Hopefully the pics I paid for turn out a little better.
(Pool glare picture that also shows the not-so-pristine condition of the water... care to go for a swim?)


Lexee, on the other hand, can do amazing things with the Cyber Shot.  
Just the other day she took this:
Very cool.  
I think I will ask her to give me some lessons.  
And, may I add, peonies are my all-time favorite flowers.  I'm going to plant more of them this year.

  1. Those pictures are darling of the girls! And I think I may have to come and help you plant your peonies, because I don't think I am going to be getting any this year.
