birthday shoot

I accepted a friend's request to shoot here 60th birthday celebration. These events are a bit of a challenge creatively as most are just photos of the guests with the celebrant. The best pictures I was able to do were of the kids, both the grandkids and kids. Post processing took a lot longer than I expected as it appears no matter how much you study and practice using flash, you will always just be a bit off. I used Gary Fong's diffuser which helped the photos more consistent but it still required adjusting pics. Part of the problem is I discovered that I have a tendency to knock the camera dials and mess up the settings. Bummer.
