I went to the Tucson Convention Center (known as the TCC to people who live in Tucson) today to take photos at the 94.9 MIX-fm Baby Fair. I have not been to an event like this with the DSLR camera I recently acquired (Nikon D5100) and I thought it would be good experience using it. I also brought my Canon SX50 superzoom bridge camera and shot a handful of photos with it indoors. It does not do well with inside, low light action photos so it quickly was put away. The lighting in this ballroom sucked for photography.
FYI -- I do not have a baby nor plan on acquiring one, it was just a visit to an event to shoot photos. Lucky is enough work already!
These are a sample of the photos I shot. To see the whole album,

This is Arabe, who seems to have a future as a KGUN 9 reporter.
Or at least feels that microphones are a fun toy. |

I wasn't allowed in here.
I don't think they knew I could be helpful. |
