Susan and Natalie
This is a combination of two almost identical images. I combined them because the positioning of Susan’s hand was better in the second shot which was composed to remove some background distractions, but the overall composition of the first shot was better, despite the distracting background elements. The combined shot removed the distractions and kept the best pose and composition.

Lighting test
It turned out all my preparation was in vain as I ended up taking pictures on stage during the ceremony.

Christ Episcopal Church Father Daughter Dance
I was asked if I would take pictures at the Church’s annual father daughter dance. I’m glad I did as I managed to get several nice portraits. This one is my favorite from the afternoon’s shoot. Here are a sample of the afternoon’s pictures.

Table decorations
Ray concentrating on folding table decorations.
I volunteered to go with the Youth Group to the annual Episcopal Diocese of West Missouri Youths’ Bishop’s Ball 2010. Held this year in Kansas City. Then I was asked if I’d mind going early and help get things ready. I enjoy helping out, and I like the driving so it’s not a problem. Between shifting tables and preparing them for the ball I took a few pictures. This is my favourite picture from the weekend. It’s a shame I didn’t notice the decoration was upside down. However, I resisted the temptation to put it right in Photoshop.

Christ Episcopal Church, Springfield Missouri, Youth Group on Wildfire at Silver Dollar City
We took the Youth Group on a trip to Silver Dollar City today. Fortunately it was a fairly easy day on the adults, though some of us were persuaded to partake in a few of the rides.

Day Four, demolition
To reduce cost, some temporary buildings are being removed. Our task was to move some office furniture and then remove and reclaim the timber from the 80′ wooden walkway between the temporary building and the existing office building.
