Picture-A-Week 2024 - Week 08

[pierces]

Pictures taken between Monday, February 19 and Sunday, February 25.

 

This is the third of four weeks in February. That is so inspirational!

 

Be inspired and get out and shoot some photos. 

 

This forum is widely known as the perfect place to share them!

 

 

Rules: See above

That's it. This isn't a contest.

All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising).

Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize.

The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays.

Post one. Post many. Up to you.

Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

Just because it's hard as heck to find...and I actually got it on sale. 😂

We were half-watching the news on Thursday afternoon when fate stepped in and decided the age-old, yet daily "what's for dinner" dilemma for us. The news person was babbling on about a bunch of inconsequential stuff when we heard the words "today is National Margarita Day". The first question that popped into my head was why haven't we seen any commercials or flyers handed out in parking lots or planes towing banners announcing the parade? How could an event this culturally significant be relegated to a brief “and in other news” mention just before a commercial break? Despite the failure of the Powers That Be to inform us properly, we managed to round up friends, head to the home of the best house margaritas ever and honor the day.

A bit late to the show on this one but 10 days ago a former co-worker called and asked for my help shooting the US National Syncro Ice Skating Championships here in Vegas.  His second shooter could not make it...I warned my friend that I have been retired for 8 years now and my gear is a Sony a6400 with an 18-200mm lens.  He must have been desperate and rented me a Canon 5R and a longish zoom lens.  Here is my favorite image from the last night. Oh side not, this was the first time I ever saw, let alone shot figure skating..

You captured the moment just great.

Thanks.  It took a session to begin to see things and be ready.  This one worked well and made me happy I took the job.
