DSC_2107 Originally uploaded by Olorinpc I was playing around with night photography at the lake. Managed to come up with this great one. 30 second exposure with the aperture as wide open as possible.

Easter weekend came in left in a rush.  My wife and I went down to Minneapolis, MN to visit family for the weekend.  Excluding coming down with a cold the weekend went great.

We had a blast participating in the events.  Managed [...]
