Took a 40 mile drive on this beautiful, sunny, 68°F day to have lunch near the train station in Washington, MO along the Missouri River.

Volunteer Photography Gig at the Greenhouse
I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned that I volunteer to take pictures of my city’s volunteer program events. This week volunteers met at a greenhouse in one of the city parks and took tiny seedlings and transplanted them into grower trays. In about a month, come Earth Day, the seedlings will have grown enough to be planted into the ground at various locations around the city. Volunteers will help with this as well and again, I will be there to take pictures to document the event. Here are some of the photos I took today at the greenhouse.

California Vacation Part 6
We spent part of an afternoon shopping up and down the Haight/Ashbury area which apparently is popular to some. Our relatives who live close by called it “The Haight” (pronounced like “hate”).
It was in this area out of all of San Francisco that I saw the most number of homeless people.
After The Haight we went to Balmy alley to check out the art murals which apparently change from time to time.
More sites around the Balmy alley area. My husband thought it was the ‘mission district” but I don’t know.
We also just kind of drove around San Francisco checking out all the architecture of the houses crammed together on the hills of the city. Some of the hills were so steep you couldn’t even see over the top of where the street went. It was like going over a cliff 😂.
We also drove by the Full House house!

Monochrome Monday Street Photography
What is your opinion on candid street photography? I completely enjoy the art of making street images but go back and forth about how I feel about taking people’s picture without their consent. This is a very huge genre of photography so I’m wondering what your take is?

Panning a Motorcycle
Have you ever tried panning photography? It is quite fun and gives a cool effect like this image of my husband on his motorcycle.
I had my camera on a tripod but you could hand hold it if you can keep it fairly level as you swivel horizontally, keeping your focus on the subject as they ride by. He was only going about 20 miles per hour.
I had my camera on shutter priority set to 1/25 sec. You have to play around with the slow shutter speed to get the effect you want depending on the lighting conditions around you.
I had it on continuous shooting and I tried manual focus and auto and got better results with manual.
What do you think?

A Senior Before and After
Some of you may remember several years ago I started a portrait photography business that I ran for a couple years through 2018. Now, I just do photoshoots for family and friends for fun, but my love of editing portraits is still strong so I’ve decided to go into the business of photo editing for other photographers. Here is my first blog post on my business website.
Offshoots Photography is taking a different turn for the new year. While I haven’t offered portrait photography services for a year or two now, my love of editing has never wavered. Therefore, I am now in the business of photo editing, editing images for other photographers. I will be posting before and after images on […]
