Splish, splash & the six steps to gettin' baptized...
Greetings to those in the blog-o-sphere! Wow are we getting the rain all of a sudden from a hurricane
passing nearby. Thankfully, it didn't really bother our part of Florida.
We lived through hurricane Hugo in Charleston, SC, so I am grateful whenever I avoid another one.
We have gotten off easy the last couple of years.
Looks like the Jaguars are going downhill in a hurry. At least we now have a backup quarterback. Sad.
Well, on to much nicer news and some images. . .
Recently our Vineyard baptized a new group of believers
in the Atlantic Ocean. It was nice & hot, but kinda windy and the breakers were a bit rough. Just getting into
position was tough for some people. So, step #1 is getting out into the water far enough for the dunking,
but shallow enough to stay standing if you are a dunker.
Step #2 is to reaffirm your confession of faith and make
sure you know what you are doing and why.
Step #3 is to prepare for the submersion. The stronger
the dunkers, the sooner you pop back up for a breath of fresh air. The dunkers each take an arm and
try to time out the waves. Dunkees usually hold their noses.
Step #4 is the real deal. . . going under water. You can
see why it's important to for your dunkers to have a good grasp. You'll be happy to know that no one was
ripped away by the tide.
Step #5 is getting back on your feet quite literally.
Step #6 is the celebration!
I love taking pix at the baptisms. You can get some great action shots on a nice sunny day. I used a Nikon
70-300 VR lens @ ISO 250 - 320. These are only a few of the best splashes. I tried to take at least 3 images
of each person----before, during and after. Because the water was so rough, it took longer than usual
to time the submersion with the waves. But, this allowed me to capture some dramatic clashes of water
& people. I didn't shoot hundreds of shots. I prefer the salvo setting - one photo per shutter depression.
PHOTOTIP: Instead of mindlessly shooting on the continuous setting, plan your shots and wait patiently
for the best moments to arrive. That way you will actually see them and enjoy them with everyone else.
Interested in starting a small, fun photo class? Click on my site below and give me a call. I would love
to start a class with home schoolers.
Blessings!
