For those of you who haven’t seen this gallery on my page, take some time to read the descriptions and see what great work this organization does for a wonderful group of children.  I truly look forward to going to these shoots to hang out with the kids and interact with the parents.  Everyone is a lot of fun to work with and I am hard pressed to find anyone who shys away from the camera.

This last shoot just so happened to fall on my birthday and I could not have had a more perfect day.  The weather was beautiful, everyone was enjoying themselves, Amy was with me, but the Nats lost…oh well.  I captured some awesome candid shots from a somewhat slow game and I hope that everyone in attendance gets a chance to put eyes on the gallery.

I REALLY like this shot I captured of the little girl and would consider it one of my best shots to date!  I wish I knew her name, but this was only my second time seeing her and I will be sure to find out who the mystery celebrity is during the next Starlight MidAtlantic event.  I caught this shot as she was rushing up a flight of stairs right next to me and all of a sudden tripped.  She came up from her spill smiling and the Beercan was spot on in capturing her and that lovely smile.  I was fortunate that the a700 was in already in aperture priority mode set to F4 giving me that great crisp image with no center fallout.  After a dab of Photoshopping (her lunch was still scattered on her face, very funny) an amazing image came out that I don’t think could ever be replicated.

If you want to read more about Starlight MidAtlantic you can check out their homepage here, and you can see some of my work posted on their site here and here.

More importantly, here is where volunteer information can be found!
