Stanmer Park - Double exposure of the bluebells (1) and a tree (2) I need to read my manual and see which shot dominates and if I can change to lightness on different frames.

I wanna practice . eventually she figured out the ball goes in the glove on the other end.

Practicing portraits indoors. Vicky poses one afternoon.

To be clear, Roxy does not need any practice going after her toy or coming back for the reward (she LOVES Cheerios).

The practice session is for me. Using my new(ish) Voigtlander lens for action shots. It is a manual focus lens so, I need the practice. Been a long time since I have had a manual focus lens so getting in some practice with one of my fav models.

Hey, for Cheerios Roxy will let me practice all day!!!

In case you are wondering, it is an old tried and true technique, prefocus an area where you know the action will be passing through. Continuous high speed and use an f/stop for bigger depth of field. People get too caught up in AF and VR... I grew up with film cameras where Auto Focus and VR were considered science fiction... And VR is just something that will eventually break in a lens...

Evey and I practicing for the race tomorrow!

I finished my place-mat practice. I need to take a small break from quilting and make a dress for my dd who is going to a Father/Daughter Ball. I was working on the last of the quilts when dh asked how the dress was coming and made me feel very guilty. The quicker I finish the dress then the quicker I can get back to this!

You just KNEW that the three prior photos of dogs were a set-up for this image, right?

This man or woman, i am really not sure =), was taking a shot of the sail.

i knew it because i was standing at the same position before i went up to take this shot.

i guess i am at the right place and the right time.

These are two of my last face-ups for my friends Nhaya and Misaki. I want to improve my face-ups so I'm practicing a lot, but when a face-up needs feckles, I always have so much fun! I love to see BJD skin as realistic skin. Thank you so much to Nhaya & Misaki!

Estos son de mis últimos maquillajes para mis amigas Nhaya y Misaki. Sigo practicando para mejorar en el tema de los maquillajes pero la verdad es que cuando se trata de maquillajes con pecas todo queda tan bien y es tan divertido! Me encanta que la piel de las muñecas parezca de verdad. Muchas gracias por confiar en mí, Nhaya y Misaki!

Tegann really loves ballet. We take her every Wednesday to "Dance Class" as she calls it. She counts down to "Dance Class" starting every Wednesday night at bedtime!

She's actually a little advanced for her age and was put in an older class this past year.

I'm really hoping we can get her in the local feeder school for the arts. She's really into all of the arts. Visual, musical, and performance...she loves it all.

A practice test shot of the full sun with my Tiffen 95C ND 18 Stop Solar Filter.

I am getting ready for the total solar eclipse event coming up on April 8th. I will be heading down to Texas for that, so I can get into the path of totality.

The last full eclipse happened in my state of Oregon back in August 21, 2017. I was simply awestruck at the site of it, so I just had to make a trip down to see it again. It will be the last full solar eclipse I will see in my life time!

A sneaky snatched shot of choir practice at Gloucester Cathedral this afternoon (photography is not normally allowed during choir practice).

These are not the boy (and now also girl) choristers!

Medical Friendly Shelter Full Scale Exercise 2018

The City held a full-scale exercise of the Medically Friendly Shelter (MFS) designed to establish a learning environment for participants to exercise their MFS operational plans.

The exercise served as a practical walk through of planning, operational coordination, operational communication, logistics and supply chain management, public health, healthcare, and emergency medical services

The MFS is only activated for a Category 2 or greater hurricane or as directed by the City Manager. The MFS is for people who, during periods of evacuation or emergency, require sheltering assistance due to physical, mental or cognitive impairment, or a sensory disability that exceeds the basic level of care provided at a general population shelter, but does not require the level of care provided at a skilled medical facility. This includes help with administering medication, personal hygiene assistance with activities of daily living (washing, dressing and eating).
