North Carolina photographer | Oak Island, Southport, Coastal NC
This weekend Daylight Savings Time started. I’m not sure how much I like the whole losing an hour of sleep part of it, but I enjoy that signs of spring are popping up all around.
This week’s motivation comes form the spring type weather we have been having and the chance to get out and enjoy the day, with a camera in hand of course.
Have a great day, get outside and enjoy.
I realized the some of you may not know what DSLR mean when someone uses it, so this week’s photography word is:
DSLR – Digital Single-Lens Reflex camera use a mirror and a pentaprism to direct the light and the image to the viewfinder on the back of the camera. This allows the photographer to see the scene through the same lens as the sensor.
Motivation can come from many places and there are times that we may not realize it at first. We are motivated by the images we see, by the things we hear, and the actions of others. It was Global Mission week at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church this past week and there were many way to be motivated. It was really moving to learn how God is using people all around the world to spread the gospel of Jesus.
“…go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19)
To be a member of a church that really takes the Great Commission to heart and put it into action is very encouraging.
After hearing stories from global missionaries on Friday night, it is a honor to use the “31 Days of Prayer” brochure provided to pray for the countries that JFBC’s Global Ministries are working with to spread the good new of Jesus Christ our Savior.
What motivates you?
Meet Mckenzie,

Thank you Mckenzie for being this weeks Friday Friend.
This week’s photography words are:
Flash Output Compensation – is very similar to Exposure Compensation and allows the power the flash to be adjusted up or down. This is very useful when you want to and just a little flash to filling in the shadows of your subject.
This week’s motivation photograph is from a recent wedding.
I love it when our wedding couples use photographs at the sign in table. Especially when those photographs remind me of the good times we had at their engagement session. To see more fabulous photographs of the wedding, check out Worley Arts Photography.
Meet Lou Ann
Lou Ann owns the local The Mail Room and More that I use to ship Worley Arts Photography’s products. I really appreciate all her help with the best way to pack and ship just about anything.
Thank you Lou Ann.
This week’s photography word:
Stop – A stop is the change in exposure by a factor of two. If someone says one stop more this means there is double the amount of light reaching the film or sensor, and one stop less would allow half the amount of light to reach the film or sensor.
This week’s motivation comes from the fact that having an iPhone with you allows for a way to make a photograph even if your not necessarily planning for it that day.
This photograph was made with my iPhone as I was getting ready to leave a friends lake house after a men’s overnight retreat.
Sorry the week’s Friend Friday is so late.
Meet Kelley,
