I know it's out of focus, but this is one of my favorite action shots. It's Katie with my mother's Yoda light saber:

How far away was the subject?

Although I usually use the dedicated flash on my camera, I also have a separate flash that I mount on my camera. That would be the obvious solution, right? :-?

Finally uploaded my Labor Day pics. My bro-in-law and I staked out hummingbirds in my parents' front yard. Hard as heck to catch those little suckers.

Such a cool picture! The look on Katie's face is classic. I like how the light saber is blurred. It shows that she was moving the sword, and that's part of what makes the picture cool.

Oh! Thanks, thanks, thanks. Always love seeing pics of good old St Louis. Gosh we miss it. Wouldn't the Louis and Clark shot make a fun caption contest? This crowd would have crazy fun with that.
