This is my entry for this week’s I Heart Faces photo challenge.

Sitting around the campfire at night is one of the highlights of camping for me, especially in the chilly months. It’s so cozy to warm yourself by the fire and listen to stories.

Taken with Reuben’s Sony DSC-H20

Shutter: 1/50 sec. ~ f/4.0 ~ 32.3mm ~ ISO 100

How I got the look:

Positioned camera with sun at back of subject. Backed away from subject and zoomed in to eliminate wide-angle distortion.

Do you shoot with a point-and-shoot? Any tips for getting great shots?

I know it will be a challenge, and there will be some days that I just won’t want to take a photo. However, I believe that I can learn so much from all the practice I will get.

Each Saturday I will post a roundup of the week’s photos.
