Life Through a Viewfinder

The Church Picnic

The Saturday after Jon & Monique's wedding our church took a break from all of the wedding work by having our annual church picnic. First of all I must confess that I have erred greatly, instead of spending my time giving you full coverage of the event I was leading the sports, shocking I know. Thankfully, Carmen was fulfilling her blogging duties to the fullest so if you want the real coverage please visit A Reflection of Me.

Mr. Clayton ensures that fair play is everywhere to be found.

Emma, the Photographer

A valiant young warrior surveys his domain...

What's this? A warrior dares to cross the bridge and challenge the powers that be?

I am afraid defeat is all that is to be found on the other side of the bridge.

"And stay off!"

Isaacs Family Concert

Recently we got to see the Isaac's Family, a Southern Gospel/Bluegrass group, for the first time live in concert.

I don't think I have ever heard a box sound so good!

This concert afforded me the perfect opportunity for trying out my new 70-200mm 2.8f L lens. Prior to this lens the only telephoto I had used was an old Sigma that was loud, slow, and gave murky pictures, upon reviewing my pictures from this event I was blown away at just how sharp they were. Make sure to click on the last picture and then zoom in to view it at a larger size.

Horseback Riding

On Labor Day some of my siblings and myself were very privileged to be able to ride horseback for the first time ever, unless ponies at the petting zoo when you are six count. :) Thank you so much Scott for organizing this outing and to your friends who own the horses, we had a blast!
