My youngest son Kevin, along with our “Adopted Third Son Rob” invited me to go out photographing with them this past weekend. Rob just got a new camera and is planning a big trip, and I think he was hoping I would teach him something. Hopefully I did! 🙂
We visited the nearby town of Belmont, NC, hoping things would be a bit quiet on a Sunday morning. How wrong we were! There was a farmer’s market going on, a number of restaurants were open for brunch and there were cars and people everywhere!
We managed to find some quiet spaces to enjoy a little creativity. The day started off overcast and gloomy, which made interesting photographs a bit of a challenge, but it provided a good learning opportunity. I enjoyed looking for good monochrome candidates and managed to find a few. Shortly after noon the sun made an appearance and I managed to get a few color shots and some shadows.
We capped off our outing with a stop at a local distillery for a snack and some rum. A good time was had, for sure!
Excellent! Looks like a fun day out.
It was nice to get out for a while, with good company!
What a wonderful day to spend with family!!! Great series that depicts the day.
Thank you, Monte. Even when we are just having fun we end up seeing interesting things. Maybe *especially* when we’re just out having fun!
I haven’t done anything like this in years. My step-daughter is the only one in the family who has taken an interest but we haven’t paired up for photography in a long time.
There used to be a group of local guys who would get together periodically and visit nearby towns to photograph. They seem to have all gone separate ways and I never hear from them any more. Paul Lester, are you reading this? 😉
