One of my favorite places to take pictures is at the various festivals put on by small towns all over the South. Here are a few shots at a local festival this past October.







It does me good to see the joy on the festival goers' faces. And it makes me long for summer again.

I was in a Hobby Store today and picked up a small piece of black velvet to experiment with. This photo was taken on a patio table outside on our patio. No flash with a total overcast sky. No additional lights or props of any kind. Camera was on full auto. Absolutely no Photo Shop adjustments or photo editing of any sort just Resized to post. Just be sure to have one of those adhesive roller dust/lint removers handy because almost anything will show up as a white spec. This was my first attempt and didn't even bother to wipe the fingerprints off the hilt & butt cap. With just a little imagination you can do a lot without a fancy setup.

A cloudy sky is the best thing to shoot anything shiny under...Cars, knives, etc.

Black velvet is what i use too Tom. It also goes down fairly smoothly.

Old Gators think alike.

Several years ago my wife and I took a trip into the Adirondack Mountains in upstate NY. We wound up touring Lake Placid for several days and took a leisurely drive to nearby Whiteface Mountain. As luck would have it we found a roadside Red Fox just waiting to have his picture taken. The photo quality isn't the best but the up close and personal is something to behold. What a ham!

Best,
Warren

I enjoy seeing everybody's photos in this thread but Tom, this is what I was hoping it would be about. Thanks.
