Picture This!
Lazy Days Of Summer
Shutterbug Staff, February, 2007
We thought it would be fun to run some summer shots in these darker and colder
days of winter, so we put out a call for photos in the fall and readers responded
with images that made us yearn for those warmer days when we got home and it
was still light enough to get some sand between our toes. Summer, it seems,
is the time to get together with family and friends and spend some quality time
by the shore, be it lake, ocean, or river. So put on your shades and sit back
and enjoy these shots from those lazy days of summer.

was f/8 at 1/400 sec, which helped catch that water in midair.
