...and that means doing all the things I wanted to do during the school year but was not able to. My wife and I always made the most of our down time together, but the summers allow our free spirits to cut loose more than usual. This shot was taken during one of our many excursion to Uptown Charlotte (which is really downtown if you've read some of my earlier posts). We went to just hang out at the library and I have a resolution to take my camera with me everywhere this summer. After the libary (and picking up a couple of books on photography) we hit the streets to see if anything could catch my eye. I only took about 17 photographs, but this shot allowed me the opportunity to experiment with the slow shutter. My wife was still enough to come out clear and her dangling earring coupled with the streaming fountain made for a perfect combination of motion and stillness. I flipped the photo to black and white while keeping the earring in color for affect. I am very much looking forward to how much progress I stand to make this summer. Here's to gaining.
