Bike Ride

We have a law in Maryland that says you can't text while driving. No one said anything about taking photos while driving. I was coming up on this guy while heading to an assignment and grabbed the first camera I could get my hands on. No time to look at the settings. I just crossed my fingers. It worked.

This biker is enjoying a beautiful spring-like day as he passes by Eddie Heath's Crab Pots. Every crabber in the world must be using his crab pots. He is busy all year long.

Thanks Eddie, for all you give back to the community. Eddie is a big supporter of our town and we all appreciate what he does.

Thanks to the unknown biker and the camera gods who made this photo possible, although I wish I had caught up with the biker a few feet back in order to show more of the colorful wire.

The One That Got Away and The One That Almost Got Away

We all know the feeling of seeing something worthy of a photo and not having a camera. I usually never go anywhere without a camera but even I miss some shots that sneak up on me.

I had just finished shooting something near the city dock and was talking to some people who I knew. I was walking backwards, still talking but saying goodbye when I turned to see this young lady almost on me. Since I had been shooting the water, I knew I had to adjust my settings. I quickly lifted my camera, framed her and saw her smile, but she was too fast for me - by the time I changed my settings she was gone, and I missed that lovely smile. It only takes a split second to lose a shot. I hate using auto, but sometimes it is nice to keep one camera on auto just so you never miss a shot. You can always adjust in Adobe.



A few minutes after I took the scooter photo, I arrived home and was getting out of the car when I saw this biker heading my way. I had a little more time to adjust, but I almost missed him.
