Summer School Photography class learned to paint with light today by adjusting camera settings. We had to black out a room, slow down shutter speed, use a tripod, and adjust other settings as necessary. This is also helpful when photographing fireworks and the night sky.

Just a few photos were taken today while we toured the historical Rice Upshaw House near Dalton, AR. After we finished there, we headed to Pocahontas to the park for lunch and the water park for the afternoon. I think the kids had a fun Friday.
