June 2009 Phood and Photography at Crane's Roost, Altamonte Springs
Once we recovered from eating too many french fries and peanuts at Five Guys Famous Hamburgers, we enjoyed taking photos of the dancing fountain. We used the lessons learned from our last club meeting in how to shoot fireworks to photograph this moving, low-light situation. Great results!

We topped the whole thing off with lunch at Cracker Barrel. Yum. Yum!
