Charleston Harbor Marina

Here are a few snapshots I took from the Charleston Harbor Marina last week. I have very limited photography knowledge, but I do enjoy playing with my camera's settings. 

I was walking around, trying to find a spot to sit and work on my computer, when I noticed that I could walk out on a dock, closer to these boats. I ran inside for my camera and tried to capture some photos before it went completely dark.

I couldn't believe how much light I could get in these photos (it looked so much darker in real life), but the experience made me want a tripod more than I did already. That may be my next photography related purchase.

Any suggestions for tripods? What are your best photography tips and tricks?

I spent a little time in Charleston last week and took advantage of the scenery for outfit shoots. Behind me in these photos are the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge (also called the New Cooper River Bridge) and the USS Yorktown. 

A very stylish friend of mine owns Waccamaw Pearls, the brand behind this beautiful pearl bracelet. After teaching in China for two years, she decided to bring quality pearls back with her, and she sells them at incredibly reasonable price points. 

Part of what makes Waccamaw Pearls special is their signature toggle closure. One side is imprinted with 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 "be joyful always, pray continuously, and give thanks in all circumstances." 

I'm very thankful to VC for letting me wear her pearls, and now it's time to start building my own collection. More Waccamaw Pearls to come!
