Finally got the photos done from last year's End-of-Summer party. Thing 1 had Strep earlier that week so we avoided taking him to the food portion of the event. Thus I don't have my usual pictures of people. We did make it for the spinning and I kind of cut loose.
A special thanks is due here to
inahandbasket who both helped me debug a long-standing problem with my fire photos and who encouraged me to put the camera in multi-shot mode so I could get three images with one button press. It gave me a lot more originals to sort through but this series is probably some of my best ever:

I probably shot 400 frames that night and maybe 1 in 10 was anywhere close to usable. ;)
