"Falling for Each Other"1/200 sec at f/3.5 ISO 200Congratulations to Brandy and Andrew (above) on their upcoming April 2010 wedding.

Man, photographers can really make you feel inadequate! This was part of the scene yesterday when we went on a PhotoWalk to Conowingo, MD in search of bald eagles. Up and down photographer's row, every person you looked at, had a bigger lens than the person before. Geesh! It looked like the red zone at a professional football game.So, like I admitted to my group, "Hi, my name is Larry. I have

This Saturday morning, the 7th, we're heading northwest to Conowingo Dam (MD) to shoot bald eagles (yes, with a camera). I took a quick trip up there this afternoon to scout locations and prepare the way for our November PhotoWalk. The eagles were out and showing off their magnificent beauty.
