Photo Walk on Main Street

Just some photos from last fall that I thought I'd post. 

I attended a couple classes at Bedford Camera where a Canon rep gave an excellent presentation on the art of photography. One of his sessions was titled "What to Shoot When There's Nothing to Shoot." That's kind of a specialty I've developed over the years on my own, so this class not only inspired but gave me a lot of affirmation!

 That evening he led the group on a photo walk in Broken Arrow to put into practice what we learned.

One of the tips he gave was to photograph through a store window. This is an art gallery on Main St. I didn't even know it was there, so that was a bonus moment in the excursion.

Another surprise was seeing an exhibit by a friend from my old art doll club. It was great seeing Wandering Wendingo and his little collection of art monsters. 

Back on the street under an almost-full moon.

People enjoying a lovely fall evening outdoors.

Two more shots through a gallery window.

It was Halloween weekend and several people in the galleries were dressed to celebrate. On my way back to the car, I ran into these two and they graciously posed for a picture.

I'm not one for group events, like shopping or touring with a bunch of people. This was my first group photo walk and in typical fashion, I quickly got separated from the rest of the herd. I'm just much more content wandering on my own, taking my time and getting lost in the lens. 

Thank you, Bedford Camera and Jeff Leimbach, for an informative day! PS: I actually won a door prize, too - a free 16x20 canvas print. I had one of my shots of the fog rising in the Smoky Mountains done & it's hanging in my office.
