Today I decided to continue with yesterday's assignment of trying something new and outside of my comfort zone - capturing an action shot. The best of the lot is both the idea of and features my SIL - a talented dancer. Thanks to her mad leaping skills I managed to capture her in motion (and with her eyes open and a smile on her face even.)
Earlier today I joined my family in a trap shooting adventure - I snapped hundreds of photos attempting to get a photo of the clay pigeon just as someone shot it. This doesn't make for very exciting or interesting photos - but it was a fun challenge and it stretched my abilities with my camera. I managed to capture several just as the clay pigeon shattered but only one in the instant the bullet hit it. I actually found trying to capture a photo of this more difficult that actually hitting one of the clay pigeons.
A pretty obvious choice for today's song, Tom Petty's "Learning to Fly." I've felt like this entire Bootcamp week has been me learning to fly - even on those days when I feel like I'm doing it without wings - and then being surprised that I can do it anyway.

thanks!, the girl in my photo is my little imp lol always up for a challenge with her mom(me), and today was a challenge--fly--- I think I was trying to put too much into it lol. I love your pic, its always great to have someone else with you(your sil) for input and inspiration. The colors in the photo are fabulous!
Great photo and love the song
Great flying jump shot ! Here's to more fun in week 2 !
wow, congrats with the tenacity to photo clay pigeons until you got what you wanted
That is a great picture of J. she is too cute! And good job on the perfect clay pigeon shot - I think that all mine were taken after they exploded. I did better shooting them with the gun, rather than my camera!
I was going to say goodbye to you - but your mom said that you had to fly out early - Glad we got to see you for a little while!
