Tri-Coast Photography Seminar

Two weeks ago I drove 5 hours down to Lake Jackson Texas to take a seminar on TTL off-camera  flash  presented by Tri-Coast Photography.  Great information, Terrible weather! Poor Cindy the chief "go to girl" for the studio was our de-facto model.  We had no great sunset, no bright shiny days to practice overiding the sun with flash, instead, we huddled under the hotel awning and learned the most we could.  Can't wait to apply this to my shooting style.

Sengleman Hall in Schulenburg Texas!



Traveling back from a seminar by Tri-Coast Photography  I stopped to visit Sengleman Hall, the historic, newly renovated dance hall/restaurant/beer garden/bakery in Schulenburg Texas. I was nursing a killer Migraine, and in the middle of a 5 hour drive home but was it worth the stop! Glorious!!! I can't wait to return and wish I had hit Polka Sundays (yea, I am that corny). I grabbed some shots with a hand held camera "sans" flash and got a great reception from the staff. I am so sorry I was too burnt out to think to shoot the sweetest hostess and production manager Hillary and Jena. Maybe another time. I did catch Tyson at the bar! Definitely stop if you are on route 10 from San Antonio to Houston, but check the times, they are only open about 4 days a week!
