This past weekend I volunteered to be a flagger at the Fidler’s Creek MX races in Homer, NE. There are two tracks at Fidler’s Creek, an adult track and a junior track. I worked on the junior track featuring motorcross raceing for youth and also races for quad runners. Here is a few minutes of what I was able to see.

Every year the Local CMA chapters from the Omaha area come to Misourri Vally, Iowa to the Taylor Quick Pick to help bikers heading to Sturges. This event started around 20 yearrs ago when a young lady riding with a biker was dehydrated and severely sunburnt. some of our chapter members helped her to a hospital. The biker left her. We continued to have our presence here offering water, clean windshields, free maps, coolies and other things. The most powerful thing we do is being here to offer prayer.

I just picked up new glasses. The lenses were made by Nikon. I wonder if that will work with my Sony camera or do I need to swap my camera? Before and after.

I used to shoot weddings years ago and I am interested in getting back into it. If any pros in the Omaha area would like a send shooter for free, please let me know.

Tips for shooting outdoor senior portraits
1. Shoot on a comfortable day in morning or evening when sunny or anytime when cloudy.
2. Use an ND filter ito control your aperature.
3. Pick a location where you are close to at least three different backgrounds plus a place to change. (Something to lean on, something to sit on, or something to walk through or stand on)
4. Bring as assistant to bounce the light and carry equipment.
5. Don’t shoot for free to get the experience. Find someone to model for you to get the experience.
6. Review your pictures and make notes. Do what you can to do better each time you shoot.
7. Improve your equipment as you can afford it.
8. Study poses on Pinterest.
9. Shoot on comfortable days to get comfortable poses.

I have seen some pros shooting weddings and portraits using the auto position with their cameras. Learn how to use aperature priority to control the depth of field. Just because you have a lens with a 1.4 aperature doesn’t mean you need to shoot it unless you only want the Brides closest eye in focus but not the ears.
Another mistake I see is shooting all indoor shots with a flash. Learn to vary your shots with some available light images with your flash image candids.
