Spring finally sprung!

Finally! The clouds went away and the sun came out! I thought Spring break was going to be a waste. My phone kept telling me it was going to be a nice and warm and then just kept on letting me down. I  tell you what, we were all starting to get a little bit of cabin fever. So when today rolled around, I said, enough is enough! We put on our sweaters and sneakers and out into the backyard we went! Tristan was so happy to be able to run around and get out at least some of the energy he had been storing up all winter! Aramis got to just sit on the porch and watch. Hopefully he will be able to join in the fun soon!

I've got to say I really enjoy shooting photos in natural light. I had hoped it would be a little less harsh, maybe a tad overcast. But, hey, we will take sunny any day! At least one good thing about super bright light is that you can turn the shutter speed way up, making motion shots a lot clearer. Now, I know these aren't perfect, but they are as close to it as I have ever come, at least since shooting in digital format. It often seemed nothing was too fast when I was using film.

What I learned today? How to better using bright lighting to my advantage. Tristan, the good sport he is, had no problem running up and down the lawn while I practiced with different settings. I'm glad we were all able to get outside and play today!
