365 ~ 2014: Day 151

Happy Birthday to Charlie! Hanging out up north on the night of the big race! A little afternoon mini-golf, Lui Lui's for dinner, Dairy Twirl for dessert and some pool time at the hotel! It's always fun to visit our pre-kid stomping grounds with the kids.

365 ~ 2014: Day 144

Today I headed to Manchester for a Location Lighting Walkabout at SOPHA.  Thankfully it didn't rain and the sun even showed his face.  The class was to show how you can integrate studio light with natural light.  This shot happens to be a natural light shot, using a white PLM as a diffuser.  Now to put this new knowledge to work!  Practice makes perfect!
