One way I kept myself busy over break was by shooting random events in the area. This is Ashfield's solstice gathering, which was surprisingly well-attended, and pretty darn moving. Even though most of the attendants probably wouldn't classify themselves as Pagan, the ceremony was getting at something else altogether. It was about unity, warmth, and light.
A problem I encountered was that the photographs are necessarily noisy. I was shooting with a tripod, but people move pretty fast, so the ISO was maxed out most of the time to get me nice crisp shots.
Still, even though the images are mostly too noisy to print, I think this shoot was a great success. I learned a great deal about night shooting, and using a tripod. Another perk is that I got offered a freelance job for the summer, shooting photographs of one mans nature camp. That should be truly fun, and a great learning experience.
