Shoot out in Dallas West End

Elena suggested that we should get out with the cameras somewhere we haven’t shot in a while.  Mainly to self test our new knowledge acquired from the variety of classes recently taken.

So we decided on downtown Dallas.  Okay partner, this town isn’t big enough for two Canon DLSRs, we will have a shoot out on Main St at dawn.  Now, imagine a little Italian Western music, a western street devoid of activity, two stern faced gunslingers with Canon DLSR’s on their hips.  It didn’t take long, once the gun smoke cleared, only one shooter was left standing…and it wasn’t me. 

I got smoked!!!  Elena’s keen eye saw so many shots before I even decided whether to go shutter or aperture priority.  Enjoy these shots, we suffered for our art this time.  Even though the temperature was in the low 80’s, the humidity had to be above 80%.  Try composing your shot, yourself while sweat is running down your back and down your nose.  Not a pretty picture. 

Elena performed her magic and shazzam, interesting pictures.  One place we found that tickled our funny bone was “the Heart Attack Café.”  Who ever did the concept on this had a sense of humor akin to mine.  Look for those pictures.  Readers!
