Lights! Camera! Water???!!!

This was my first time lighting swimming. As a rule, I'm always a little nervous shooting swimming (could be 'cause I dropped my flash down the deep end once...) so I was extremely nervous about having a rickitie light stand holding up the strobes just three short feet from the edge of the pool - but, luckily, all turned out okay. :) I really like the way the photos look with the extra light. I put both lights on the same side - about 10 feet apart and bounced them from the ceiling... let me know if you have any suggestions for lighting swimming in the future. I'd like to try something a little different next time.

Missed Shot

A feature hunt led me to senior billiards at the community center's senior wing. These two were so funny! They kept asking each other which ball to shoot and letting the other person take the credit when the ball went in the pocket. How awesome is that?! They're pretty good too! They all try to get to practice 3 times a week. One of the guys looked and me and said "I have to get out of the house! My wife kicks me out!" and then turned to the other guys and said, "What? I'm not gonna lie like you guys!" Don't you just love honesty??
