Summer is flying by! Although it does not seem like that long ago, the time has come to clean out more room on the web server for new events. There are three ballroom dance events that are expiring very soon at the TimeLine Media proofing website. These have been up for a while, and we have had lots of visitors.

Firstly, thanks to you that have come by and purchased your photos! I have even put together a couple of albums from these events. Overall this is a great way to share your images without having to be tethered to a tablet or smartphone. At this time, albums can be made from photos of any event we have covered. I put together a layout of your 12-20 favorite photos. After you approve the design, I send the layouts to the lab for printing and binding into a leather album. It is actually cheaper to get the prints in an album than as free prints! If you have any other questions, or would like to know more about our “Ballroom Brag Books” as we call them, please send me an email, or give me a call.

The three events that are expiring soon are:

2014 Baltimore Dancesport Challege – expires July 21, 2014

Arthur Murray 2014 Spring Freestyles – expires July 28, 2014

2014 River City Ballroom Dance Competition – expired August 4, 2014

I am scheduled to photograph a lot of exciting upcoming events in the next few weeks. I am shooting a couple of weddings, and there are a lot of happenings planned at Tysons Corner Center next week. Rest assured, I’ll be sure to share my adventures and images here on the blog and my other social media outlets. Have a nice weekend!

Sunflowers at McKee Beshers WMA

Poolesville, Maryland

Taking a short drive to the nearby Maryland countryside to stand in a field full of sunflowers will probably become a yearly tradition for us! Like the cherry blossoms around the Tidal Basin in downtown DC, the fields of the McKee Beshers Wildlife Management area are planted with beautiful sunflowers. When they bloom is regularly monitored and posted on their website. Not as many people make it here compared to the Tideal Basin. So you can really get up close and personal with the bees and the blooms.

Since they bloom in summer, it is recommended to go either in early morning or late evening. Concurrently, it is better when the sun is not directly overhead. This, of course, makes for better photos too! The spacing in between lines of plantings makes it easier to walk in between the rows of blooming flowers.

We decided to go out later in the evening. Being July, it was still hot and a little humid, but we enjoyed the colorful view. There are many fields in which sunflowers are planted. However the first one off of River Rd. is probably the most photogenic. As you walk from the parking lot, you can see the yellow glow of the flowers between a column of trees. It is like stepping into an Impressionist painting.

It is such a great place to make photos. You can take out your wide-angle lenses, your macro lenses, practice with your tripod, or take your flash off the camera for more fun. Luckily you have lots of space to work and not be in anyone else’s way. There is still some time to get out there and see the sunflowers. According to the website, there are other fields that may bloom from now until August. Grab your camera and a friend or two and make some nice pictures!

That’s Dancing Summer Showcase Sale Ending

I hope all of you had a great July 4 holiday weekend! We had some great weather in the northern Virginia, Washington DC area. Some mild weather which is rare for this time of year really helped to get everyone outside for cookouts and fireworks.

I am still working on photos from a few shoots, but I have to go back to the dance photos from the That’s Dancing Summer Showcase. The early-bird sale on these photos ends tonight! The photos will still be available to view and share online, it is only the special pricing that will change to their regular rates tomorrow. To see the images and share with anyone that attended, please go to this link:

I know that owners Carlos and Marielle have been very busy getting this event together along with their North Coast Ballroom Championships, so I hope they have recovered from all their hard work! They also organized the Baltimore Dancesport Challenge earlier this year. Just a heads-up for those that attended that competition – the expiration date for those photos is coming soon! The images will be removed in a couple of weeks on July 21, so be sure to get them before they are gone.

The featured dancers for this post are instructors at That’s Dancing. They performed a Jive at their Summer Showcase as part of the staff show at the end of the night. It is always a fast dance that ends the International Latin competitive heats. Moreover, it is a great treat to watch when the dancers really know what to do! It is nice to see their display of skill, and to keep up with them with my camera is a fun challenge. They had some great moments in their dance that the audience enjoyed!
