Tower at the Shore

We met at the tower; it was an evening of breaking bread, worship and baptism in the lake. Joy abounded. Children played. It was our church's celebration of a summer full of wonder. The Tower is at Nashville Shores in Hermitage, Tennessee. I shot the following photos with a Sony A-100 and a Sony 70-300 telephoto lens. Shutter speed 1/320; f-9.

Girl at the Water's Edge

This little girl captured my heart. She was slightly mysterious at play at the water's edge. It was late in the day – about 6 p.m. – and the sun backlit her hair and arms, while she was otherwise in the shadows. Shutter speed 1/320; f-8.

Stars on the Water

I don't know what my deal was with diagonals that day, but...I managed to capture a few stars on the water without a star filter. Ah, water, it does something for the soul. This is Percy Priest Lake in Hermitage, Tennessee. Shutter speed 1/320; f-13.

Happy Couple

Sometimes you have to include a happy couple in your blog, just because they're beautiful. This is Susie and Carl; Carl just got baptized, thus the wet tee-shirt and the beautiful smiles. Shutter speed 1/200; f-6.3.
