I don’t think I’ll ever get enough of shooting old warbirds. Commemorative Air Force was in town this weekend. I love these old birds.
Shooting More Warbirds
Huntsville Ballet’s Cinderella
It was ballet time again a few weeks ago. I worked Huntsville Ballet’s Cinderella and had fun with my new EOS M6 during rehearsals when I had time to shoot.
Shooting a full moon last night
I’ve never been happy with my shots of a full moon. I’ve gotten good results with non-full moons but nothing I’ve liked with a full moon. Last night I decided to try to follow Tony Northrup’s instructions to see what I got.

Huntsville Ballet’s Art of Dance
Huntsville Ballet held an Art of Dance session at Lowe Mill on Saturday, March 17th. Some dances from various shows, a free dance lesson for the kids there and then a chance to sketch the dancers for local artists. Of course I was there shooting pictures.

I took these yesterday at Anheuser-Busch in St Louis. The high ISO shots are pretty usable without any noise clean up. Better with it but usable without it.

I’m finally getting around to learning more about Photoshop via Tony and Chelsea Northrup’s Photoshop Essentials book and videos. I’ve been looking over old photos I was never quite happy with and working on them as I learn. I hit a few of my New York pictures from 2015 and was able to make some changes that I think made them far more acceptable pictures.
