People Photography

Over the last several months I have had the pleasure of taking photographs of friends and family.  I am not a portrait photographer and do not know the tricks of the trade, however it is always fun to try and make a good photograph.  Here are a few of the people I have photographed lately.  I'm not naming names.

A Pair of Peregrines!!

The fields have been mown in Valley Forge and the raptors are everywhere looking for all the little critters who have suddenly been uncovered.  It was such a thrill to see these two Peregrine Falcons perched in a big old dead tree in the middle of the field.  And they stayed long enough to get a picture.
