On Sunday, I drove up to Baltimore's Inner Harbor for a fun little get-together with some great local photogs from the group
Starting a Wedding Photography Business. If you are in the business, this is a great forum in which to participate. Endless knowledge streams out of the archives, if you'll only look. Highly recommend!!
We might have been a bit awkward at first, but once we got some burgers and quesadillas in us, it was time to rock it camera-style. First, two images from our short photo walk around the harbor. I really like these and I'm kind of amazed I got anything at all that I liked because we were really only shooting maybe 15 minutes, very casually.
No, these people aren't with our group. I took the shot I wanted (cute couple looking out on the water) but my focus point was wrong, so I went to do another and she turned around! I expected this image to be her looking mad.

I've known about freelensing for a while but I got frustrated when it didn't immediately work out for me. Ayesha showed us all how to do it right (or well, right enough - probably need to stop up quite a bit to actually get something in focus).
Angel:
These guys were there too, but I either didn't get any photos of them or didn't like the ones I took (hey, 4/8 ain't that bad!):

Looking forward to the next meetup!
You really must forgive some of these scans. I don't have an expensive do-it-all scanner thing - just a portable guy that can be somewhat temperamental.
And, finally, the coup de grace - where Jonathan asked the photobooth dude what the record was for total number of people in the booth at any one time. We beat it.
Well that will about finish up the blog for 2012. Have a very happy New Years and get ready for the awesomeness that will be 2013!
