Happy Easter



Easter weekend has been beautiful and Granny’s annual Easter egg hunt went off without a hitch affording many photo-ops for all including this one (above) of grand daughter, Mary.



Here's Granny shooting Laurel. All the photos you see here in this blog post were taken with the Pentax K-01. I also shot a roll of Kodak Portra 160 with the Pentax ZX-30 but won’t have those images back from processing for a couple days.


...and here are all five (Claire, Rachael, Mary, Mikey & Laurel, L to R) posing for everyone. 

I am slowly sorting out the differences between film and digital photography and figuring out which is best to use for what. The kind of action shots taken here with many people moving around constantly and the need to quickly get off shots for group photos practically scream out for “digital.” To get the shot above I actually took five photos and used the best one here. Invariably one of the kids was blinking, looking away or picking their nose in most shots. You can of course do this with film but it is costly. I think film is better used for shots where you have the time to properly set up where digital seems to shine when taking shots “on the fly.”
