I took both of these pictures at the Roseville Thanksgiving Parade. My goal was to catch some clean, crisp shots as the participants moved past me. I set my camera manually to a high shutter speed to stop the motion and kept my aperture high as well to capture all of the detail. Since it was a sunny day, I had no problem keeping both numbers high.
This is me ... Heidi. :) My love of photography started years ago when our first daughter was born. As I started scrapbooking the pictures, I relized I wanted to take better pictures to put in my album, but didn't know how. It wasn't until I received my Canon Rebel XTi that photography became a passion of mine. I currently have the Canon EF-S 17-85mm 1:4-5.6 IS USM lens, EF 70-300mm 1:4-5.6 IS USM lens, Speedlite 580 II flash and my software is CS3, Lightroom 2. I hope my enjoyment of photography shows and it inspires you as well. :)

I'm Heather of Heather Ann Photography. I shoot with a Canon 5D. I spend a great deal of time editing my images with textures and vintage effects in CS4. What started out as a hobby has become a creative passion that expresses itself in finding the beauty that surrounds. Photography has caused me to slow down, examine and appreciate the little things that we take for granted each day.
