Deep Rock Family Photo

 Deep Rock is an old gas station in our small Iowa town on the square.  It has nice vintage charm that makes you love being a part of small-town Iowa.  It is now maintained by a gardening club, who keeps up a beautiful garden behind it with lots of recycled funky items, like doors, tea sets, and rusty tricycles stuck in corners of gardens. 

This weekend I took a few pictures of a family that also make you proud of being a part of a small Iowa town.  And, grateful for families who also have three small children.

The lighting was dull this weekend, so I admit that I was a little challenged by that.  I compensated by setting White Balance for the cloudy conditions, but still found it hard to use a lower Aperature (which is nice for portraits) without getting blur from fast moving kids.  Looking back, I forgot to adjust my ISO (which makes the camera more sensitive to light).
