Ny's "Funraiser" at Aiea Bowl - 4/18/1009

Nyree Oshiro is a good friend of my coworker, Rosalyn. Ny has Crohn's disease, and tonight she held a fundraiser to benefit the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America. Everyone there had a blast.
At the time that I took this picture I didn't realize that these guys weren't even part of our group. Yet, they obliged and posed for me. So funny, yeah!

Very nice, you got great shots in a very dark setting. You also captured true emotion from everyone. Great shooting!

OMG, Aiea Bowl....I hope you had some of their lemon crunch cake !! I did a show with the chef from there and it was my largest show ever with a local chef....but....chef did not give out the recipe for this cake (first time ever I had a chef not share his recipes)

Those three guys were funny! Looks like everyone had a great time. Our grandkids love to bowl, even the little ones.

Erick, it was very challenging. I'm still not sure what's the best way to shoot in a bowling alley.

Didi, I did remember to buy a slice to bring home for Wendell. It was 6 bucks!!

Betty, after I took the shot I asked them how they knew Ny, and they went, "Who?"

very very nice. did you use your flash???

jalna said...

Oh my God, Susie . . . I tried all different kinds of ways to shoot . . . no flash/high ISO, with flash/diffuser, no diffuser, bounced off ceiling, angled . . . Depending on where the subject was I got different results. Very, very good learning experience.
