12.09.07 - The Helping Up Mission

My church went and preformed their Christmas pageant at the The Helping Up Mission in Baltimore last night. Two members of our congregation volunteer at this men's homeless shelter on a regular basis.

Members from our churches high school youth group came out to help and enjoy the show.

Frosty!

Smiles from the audience!

okay... so not EVERYONE was as interested... :)

Yesterday was a BUSY day, pretty much non-stop I haven't had one of those days in a while. I shot last night without a flash because I didn't want to attract a ton of attention to myself. I was shooting in program mode and I realized that I should have been shooting in Av with the lowest aperture set so that I could have had higher shutter speeds. Most of my pictures were blurry because it was so low light. Again I could have really used the 70-200 to get some shots from further away instead of having to be up in peoples faces while I was shooting.

I'm going to try to move my work schedule around on Thursday so that I can go shoot when my church does this again at a retirement home.
