Photo of The Day TGIF!

TGIF & ROLL TIDE

Many of you may know by now, that Im a huge College Football Fan!
 I posted a few images of the football game.
Alabama v. Ole Miss at Bryant Denny Stadium. 33/14, Win, Crimson Tide.

Ive been asking those who share photos with me to give a story behind the photo. I have enjoyed hearing about everyones journey. Thank you all who have offered to share with me, helping me reach out to everyone.

The Story...

Story behind this photo was walking to the stadium, streams of people on each side of the walks..roads buzzing with people, police, shuttles, bars and college students with their lawn parties! lol..

Everyone was dressed festive.. all kinds, all ages, all races.. "on the territory" lol.. those who were serious, already drunk, Lost.! , Tailgating.. humid and about to rain..

The Gentlemen below in this photo parked next to us. They reminisced about Tuscaloosa University Blvd, being same and different, walked with us a bit and I got this photo before we got mixed into the crowd.



Story Behind The Photo-
This Gentleman didnt talk to us, but was cheerful for a few college ladies.

I got this shot and kept walking to the stadium.

Monday's Photo of The Day- Lens Flare!

1/320
ISO 400
F.16

After the bride and groom went fishing, they walked back into their reception. I was trying to do a few techniques and had to bail and get this shot as they were walking up. Its nice intentions and sometimes those moments that are not intended that make the best photo!

Look for a group in facebook for David Becksteads Flair for Flare! If the sun is fighting you,, FIGHT BACK!

You may get an awesome result!

Send me your photos at laymanphotography@windstream.net

Have a great Monday!
