We had dinner with a couple of friends a few weeks ago, and while talking, I mentioned that I was seriously considering photography as a means of staying active in retirement.  She said she really wanted family pictures, and asked if I would be interested.  Well, their three sons and their families visited on Saturday, and they asked me to come and take some pictures.

I had visions of getting some really dramatic shots, as the forecast was for overcast skies and periods of rain.  So, I thought we would find a place where I could use some lights to get under-exposed skies.  Well, it turned out to be mostly sunny.  They had a spot in the yard where they wanted them taken.  So, I set up a light, and we shot there. The ended up being really good pictures and just what they wanted.
