The Hynes Family

Last week we were making the final preparations for our Photography Boot Camp. How would it go? I was praying to be a blessing and encouragement to the attendees.

We're planning a Photography Boot Camp course for later this year. Here's the course overview .

The Polorizing filter really made these pop. [photo:1986:set=020310] [photo:1985:set=020310] Shot these with my 170-500mm. They are really cute little birds.
