Shower Power

It was hot and humid, but this little lady was cool as a cucumber, as she ran through the spray at the Two Rivers 4th of July celebration. I shot this picture with a Sony A100 35 mm camera and 75-300 telephoto zoom lens. The shutter speed was 1/400; aperture was f-5.6.

Red Cap, Blue Food

Somewhere under that red cap, this teen is eating, yep, blue cotton candy, spun by the church's associate pastor. Mmmmm. This and all subsequent photographs were shot with a Sony A100 35 mm camera, and a Sony 75-300 telephoto zoom lens. This shot's shutter speed 1/400; f-5.6.

Ready. Aim...

This young man gets ready to aim for the dunking booth, manned by a member of the church staff. Heh. Heh. Shutter speed 320; f-6.3.

Mommy, It's Such Hard Work!

Oompf! I will master this Hoola Hoop if it's the last thing I do! Shutter speed 400; f-5.6.

The Little Mermaid

Shiny and slickened with water from the water slide, she is a vision in pink. She's a mermaid at a 4th of July picnic. Shutter speed 1/320; f-5.6.

Little Man

This is one little man, if I ever saw one. What a doll! And those pensive eyes...I wonder what he's thinking. Shutter speed 1/320; f-5.6.

Cheese, Louise.

I love that 4th of July picnics are for the young babes and the older babes alike. Louise is having a great time, as is clearly evidenced by her sweet smile. Shutter speed 1/320; f-5.6.

The Orange Food Group

This beautiful little boy is proudly wearing something from the orange food group around his mouth. Cheetos? Shutter speed 320; f-5.0.

Balloon Boy

Tatooed with the American Flag, this young man wears a stylish animal balloon hat. Shutter speed 1/320; f-5.6.

Hoola Hoop Knees

This little darling was working diligently to arrange her hoola hoops. Shutter speed 1/320; f-5.6.
