After a busy day at work yesterday, I had an even busier time shooting a photo last night. The idea was to get a shot of someone having dinner and also to capture the river and bridge into town in the background. When I was framing up the shot, it looked great except for one thing - there was a huge weed that was several feet tall in the way. While I continued getting my camera set up, the girls trekked down to the weed and proceed to jump on it, mangle and trample it. It was quite vicious. Here’s a shot of them relishing their victory over the weed.
At one point, a train pulled up and blocked the view of the river… for an hour. That backed up the schedule a good bit. I got some really good results though. Here’s a sample of one of the shots I ended up with.

This probably won’t be the view we end up using because she’s looking into the camera and the concept was to have her looking away but it gives you an idea of what I was able to get. She was a good sport and fun to work with.
Today I’ve got to get packed this morning as I’ve got to go out of town to attend a conference with some friends from church. Should be a great time!

I like it! Maybe somebody should have light painted the bridge!
