Isle of Palms Pier
Hello out there! Where is everyone??? Posts are down across blog land, or at least across the part that I visit regularly.
The other day I attended a photography group meet-up and it was a great time. This was very informal and enjoyable. For the most part, we sat around, talked about gear, shared cameras, and had a bite to eat.
During the time, there was small presentation. Each month, the group has a voluntary assignment. Last month the assignment was “square”, for this month, it is “short”. Also, some of the members took time out to share about 20 of their favorite pictures. I was not one of them to share, but intend on doing it next month; however, I want to do it differently.
I want to try, within the next month, to come up with my 20 favorite pictures that are exclusively from my time here in the Charleston area. Honestly, I’ve not been shooting much, but the bug is there and I’m starting to feel the energy again. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a morning shooter. The evening just doesn’t appeal to me that much, but I am trying to get out of that thought pattern and say “yes” to the evening. I’ve been out a few times in the evening and have come back with some satisfactory shots. Just yesterday, I went to Isle of Palms, SC and took some pictures. It has been raining here all week, but bad weather, as they say, makes for great pictures.
So far, I have a few that might make the cut, such as the top picture, but it depends on what types of pictures I take later. The first picture is of the pier at Isle of Palms, SC. The other, of course, is a snapshot of some of the people that I met at the group meeting.

If I never photographed in the rain, my camera would seldom come out of the bag! Today I had to go to Longview, WA and decided to take my camera along just in case. I stopped at an overlook for the Columbia River Wildlife Refuse and photographed for the better part of an hour while the storm clouds painted the sky and finally cleared. It was a blast!
Well, Steve, you’d have plenty of opportunity to photograph around here. A lot of the time though, the sky is slate gray; however, there are some dramatic clouds that hang around in the afternoon.
I’ve done a little shooting in light rain and snow. It’s not my favorite thing to do even though you are right about the photo ops that present in those conditions.
I love the top photo. What a beautiful pier and the atmosphere is lovely.
Good on you for meeting up with the group!!! That will be fun to do while you’re at your temporary home. When you get back home maybe you can join a camera club there. I just did, it’s new in town, and we’re having too much fun.
