The Park – Raw And Uncensored

The Park was rocking on Sunday. Pastor Nancy asked me to take pictures and I gladly obliged.
The Park is the children’s Sunday service and like our main auditorium is very very tricky to photograph.
The Its were moving around very fast! The lighting is really challenging – I had to use, gasp, manual mode so I can get some rich color and not have it all washed out with a flash.
I also didn’t want to distract the performers…
After shooting about 50 black or blurry photos, I had to come back second service and try to capture more images…the light adjustment was a bear.
Miss Tracy has two babies in there…this is our second set of twins on staff within a year. There is definitely something in the water, I’m glad I’m too old to catch whatever it is.
I finally settled on ISO 800, shutter speed of 40 and aperture setting of f5. I would have gone lower with the aperture but my lens wouldn’t let me, shoot.
These are straight out of the camera. No post-processing at all…not that I wasn’t tempted mind you.
