Summer has come to an end and it is always a shock to find myself on the cusp of all the holidays. The older I get the faster time flies. Vacations are another event that time seems to operate in half time. A week seems like a few days and there is never enough time to see or do everything that I had planned. I don’t know if others feel this way but it is a challenge to slow down and enjoy the moment.
Last month we had a quickie vacation in the Olympic National Park for Mike’s birthday. The owner of the VRBO we rented sent me a link to a local photographer who photographs the milky way over the water from several of the beaches. Great idea and we lucked out with an amazing night to photograph it. We only got one night as the next night the fog rolled in and it was pea soup. Making the most of it I’ve seen many photos of the photographer in the photo, as the camera is on a tripod so I decided to give it a try. As luck would have it the first attempt was the only usable photo – so Woo Hoo!
Vacations can be complicated – months of planning, special gear, once in a lifetime or they can be a spur-of-the-moment clear-the-head event. Photographing vacations can include locations, people, animals, details, buildings, or anything that resonates with you. Documenting places, people, and events is something we all like to do and then we want to share those photos with others. This assignment is perfect to show off your photos. I hope you agree and will upload them before noon on Tuesday, Oct 18th. We will meet via zoom only so watch for Chuck’s meeting link. Check the instructions on our web for resizing your photos as the Gallery Upload has size restrictions. Upload your favorite vacation photos so we can all be armchair tourists.
