I'm a little amazed by it with everyone's busy lives. My step daughter says she looks forward to my emails when she takes a break at her job. I've learned more about our kids in the last month of emails than I have over several years. And, I have something to look at later. <br /><br />Those night shots are part of my practice, practice, practice mode. I believe I took my ISO up to 3200 and shutter speed down to about 1/15 or 1/20. The lower shutter speeds means I have to hold very still. Night time shots are not my favorite. I prefer late afternoon but my last mini shoot I had to use my flash and I was amazed by the great result. I prefer to not use a flash in people's faces but the dark of winter is forcing me to try new things. I have a shoot tonight after work and you can bet I'll have my flash turned on it. Darkness, ugh! Thanks for dropping in, Trudy!Suddenly Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12483813654827621158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3657625150805629106.post-50737272622047209342015-10-29T14:19:56.467-07:002015-10-29T14:19:56.467-07:00What beautiful photos and heartfelt post (as alway...What beautiful photos and heartfelt post (as always)! My husband writes to our two adult children every day. I'm the writer, yet he's the one writing to them. But I'm glad he's consistently keeping in touch with them because I have difficulty in doing *anything* on a daily basis except eat and sleep (and use the bathroom, but let's not go down that road, haha).<br /><br />BTW, I am mesmerized by your night shots. I struggle with night photography... I can't seem to get it... yet.Trudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10783836223461464801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3657625150805629106.post-22431336559475800712015-10-16T05:28:47.596-07:002015-10-16T05:28:47.596-07:00Hi Shari!

I've been writing to my kids ever since I got back and amazing dialog is happening. I do love that. Love you girlfriend!
