Any parent who has tried capturing their little tykes on camera will know how Difficult it is to get that one shot correct. Almost always you will end up with a blur for where your child should have been. If this is the case in the house, the task becomes all the more difficult when children are on the playing field. Capturing that Winning TouchDown or that look of Triumph on hitting a Home Run is never easy considering that youngsters don't have it in them to stay put for a few seconds.

That is where a professional youth sports photographer come in. It requires are trained Eye and a STEADY hand to Capture important moments for posterity. While picture days can be chaotic, it is important to have the organizing in the hands of a competent person. No one can do this better than Larry Morse Photography. It is essential to have a plan of action that allows for photos to be taken on time and processed as quickly as possible. This will require a bit of juggling in terms of job roles. But for someone who is experienced in the field, such organization should not be a problem at all.

Establishing a rapport with children is an important aspect of good youth sports photography. While children can let out war cries of victory, they sometimes tend to clam up when faced with a camera. Good youth sports photographers are often trained in interpersonal skills with children. This allows for good bonding and enables the photographer to get the best out of the children without making them conscious. Uninhibited display of emotions is what makes good pictures. Taking the time out and going the Extra Mile is what ensures that parents have sports day photographs that they will cherish forever.

With the advent of digital photography technology, several people harbor the desire to be professional photographers. However, the right use of technology is what really works. Sports photography is all about balancing shutter speeds, lenses, lighting and being instinctual. A good youth sports photographer can do all this and more. And finally what is good photography if the channels of communication are not open.

Black and white photography was still used widely even after color photography was invented. Today, black and white photography is its own genre and niche, and is widely regarded as a better method of photography than color. Although color photography has many effects, black and white photos have the versatility for sharp shapes. Nowadays, I have put splashes of color in with the black and white, such as this photography. The effects in black and white photographs can range from light sepia tones to gray, to charcoal to black. White is represented in shades of pearl, cream, white-gray, off-white and golden white. Black and white photography uses many type of effects, such as putting a splash of color into the black and white or only using white tones, neutral tones, or gray and black tones. Double-exposure black and whites are very unique as well, and create a smoky, ghostly effect inside of the frames.

Dandelion seeds are carried away by the wind and travel like tiny parachutes. A strong wind can carry the parachutes miles away from the parent plant. A dandelion is really many tiny flowers bunched together. After a dandelion blooms, each of its tiny flowers produces a seed. Each seed is attached to a stem with white fluffy threads.

Sausalito offers dozens of interesting and unique tours and nautical excursions and is home to two world renowned attractions - the Bay Model and the Bay Area Discovery Museum.

The Palace of Fine Arts has been a favorite wedding location for couples throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. A renovation restoring the interior of the dome, the walkways around the Palace and a seismic retrofit was completed in early 2009. The lagoon was intended to echo those found in classical settings in Europe, where the expanse of water provides a mirror surface to reflect the grand buildings and an undisturbed vista to appreciate them from a distance. Australian eucalyptus trees fringe the eastern shores. Many forms of wildlife have made their home there including swans, ducks (particularly migrating fowl), geese, turtles, frogs and raccoons.
Constructed as a temporary attraction for the 1915 Pan-Pacific International Exhibition, this Grecian temple of a monument continues to enchant and enhance the city. The original plaster, which made up the monuments exterior, has been gradually replaced with funds raised by Marinas well-heeled residents who were loath to lose such a graceful part of their landscape. Swans in the adjoining lagoon glide by the soaring ochre-tinted colonnades and the imposing dome ringed with panels of centaurs and warriors engaged in battle over nubile maidens. Those column-top statues of sorrowing maidens turned away from prying eyes are using their tears to water the long-gone oaks that originally stood in the planters that they surround. Stroll inside the dome, clap your hands and marvel at the uncanny acoustics, then enjoy a picnic lunch on one of the park benches scattered to provide an unparalleled view of this gem.

San Francisco's most famous landmark, the Golden Gate Bridge. The bridge is widely considered one of the most beautiful examples of bridge engineering, both as a structural-design challenge and for its aesthetic appeal. It was declared one of the modern Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

Wedding party celebration toast.

This photography was taking just outside of Yosemite CA.

Dove lovebirds - our backyard. It's not unusual to see beautiful birds in my backyard, but to capture these two was exciting.

A legend says that the goddess Venus considered the doves as sacred because of their loyalty to their partner. The cooing sound which the birds made is compared with the love words that the people in love use. And that is why in our days the sugary language which the lovers use is known as cooing.

I was fascinated with this huge, 5 ft weed I came across in a client's back yard. I wanted to catch the small details of it with the morning dew.

This photography is one of may looking out on the to golf course from the back yard. Photography was taken in the morning of March 5th 2010.
