Weddings and town celebrations caused this summer to heat up with action and excitement! It amazes me how the temperature can be 98 or 101 degrees, and our lush foliage and shady spots appear to be so cool and refreshing when they are printed in photographs!

The last two months of watching all the photographers who photograph events just for personal enjoyment have inspired me to blog about a few hints and lessons in photographic art. The word amateur comes from the Latin word, “amo,” which means love, so amateurs are people who do their art for the love and passion of making memories! Many such photographers ask me for hints and advice. This summer’s advice is for photographing in low light situations. CAUTION: if you do not have a tripod, brace that little (or big) camera on a wall, tree or table. The more steadily you hold the camera, the clearer your focus will be! For more hints, lessons and tips, visit to a photo-education website. There are many reputable sites and blogs that will provide free information about photography. the Photography Schoolhouse at Photography Schoolhouse is one of the spots well loved by my private photostudents.
