Camping

This past weekend I went camping at Ricker Pond in the Groton State Forest. It was a lot of fun spending time with friends and family. One of the best parts about camping is the fact that there it is impossible to use your cell phones, so everyone is focused on the moment. I took this time to learn how to use a camera. I practiced adjusting the shutter speed, which allows to show movement in the camera.  Here are a few of the pictures I took:

If you click on a picture you can view all of the pictures at full screen.

Loon! 

I like how I was able to quietly sneak up on the ducks and I was able to get so close to them. I like how you can really see the details in the duck.
