Photographs of My Kids Playing in the Pool

My kids love to swim in a pool no matter how cold it is.  It’s crazy how kids can tolerate cold water in a cold winter day.  They wanted me to swim with them but it was cold and I only swim when it’s warm (my rules).  Most of the photographs are all candid of...

When we hear the words “street fair”, “block party”, or “festival” we automatically understand that there is about to be a ton of color, activity, and fun. This also translates into a huge array of photographic potential, but a photographer of any level is well-advised to head into such a scenario well-prepared. This is because there are always going to be issues about safety, appropriate gear, and the best techniques for optimal results.

Limiting yourself to a single camera should not be a serious hardship if you prepare yourself for the kinds of photographic opportunities you are likely to encounter. Additionally, when a gathering involves groups of tightly crowded people it might be easy for all kinds of gear to disappear, and this too is another reason to keep equipment to a minimum.
