There was one shot and only one chance to capture the image. Using my Night Photography knowledge,... 
AMAZING! I’ll bet that shot made your day! 
It did! I was completely surprised that it turned out that well. 
Amazing shot!!! 
Amazing shot – well done, Kent! 
I tell everyone I know with a camera to take the Night Photo class 
This is fantastic. I love the story, and thanks for tips regarding how to improvise a night shot without a tripod handy. Your end result was fabulous. Congratulations, and thanks for sharing your experience and lessons through this video. 
Good day Ken A friend from a wedding i did last year asked me if i could put her 618 images from her wedding onto a site so she can show her friends & family that she can link them up to view her wedding thumbnails- i am going to sign up to Flickr & upload the images for Private viewing Thanks for sharing the knowledge Blessings & Respect Will
Hi William, In Lightroom goto File > Export > and you will get a list of choices. In the list you can constant the file size to a maximum for both the vertical and horizontal sizes. Also in this list, you can add a watermark here as part of the export process and not have to load the images into Photoshop. Secret – test run an image or two to see if it turns out the way you’d like before running the whole folder of 600+ images. by Kent Weakley show 13 comments 
I love how you captured the movement on the city streets. 
I love this! Where is it?
Doesn’t look like your city does it? I’ve been bouncing all over the place lately. It’s Chicago. Thanks for asking 
very cool. very. 
Oh wow! How awesome. So glad you linked up. Now maybe I will remember the chat tonight.
Thank you! Fantastic!! 
Wow! An amazing piece of art. 
Love how full of life and color this image is 
Amazing shot! My wordless wednesday is Chicago this week too! I LOVE Chicago. I’d move there if I could!
Sweet Home, fun city! Thank you! 
Kent, Very nice shots. I would like to ask a question. I have completed 2 of your on-line courses–Composition and Night Photography. In a book written by a Scott Kelby, he recommends a Manfrotto by Bogen Imaging 322RC2 Grip Action Ball Head priced at $125.99. I do not want to spend more than a total of $150 to include shipping and taxes. Do you agree with this recommendation? Thank you. Walter M. Swing
Hi Walter, Thanks,
Kent, I was in NY for Thanksgivng and went to B&H. The Really Right Stuff is not available anymore. I liked the grip action, so I bought the Manfrotto RC322RC2. Walter M.

I’m here to challenge you to take your firework photography to a new level. In this challenge, I’d love to see you try three different capture techniques: zoom in for some tight close-ups defocus for interesting blurs motion zoom while exposing Once... by Kent Weakley show 7 comments 
When i took these photos i never expected to have them look ok, after i got home and seen what i really had, i decided that i liked them..they are a different sort of thing than what i am used to, and being my birthday on firecracker(queen victoria day) day, i thought it was fun to get out with my camera in hand. 
This was a super fun challenge. thanks, Kent.
For some reason the comment box isn’t showing up on my end on some of your other posts, so I came here to comment on all of them! First, that video of you creating the canvas print is so interesting. I had no idea what went into creating one of those and the fact that you can do it yourself is amazing. Second, thanks for the video about photographing fireworks. I got to that video via Darcy. Unfortunately we have a small fireworks show around here with no great spot to set up a tripod (which I don’t have) unless you have a boat to get to the island. I’m going to enjoy viewing everyone else’s shots, though. 
After I reviewed settings and did practice shots and my husband rigged the windows so the tripod would be effective (because we have always seen the fireworks perfectly from the bedroom window), they moved the fireworks and did not launch them as high. But I got what I got and am proud of a couple of them. 
Thanks for your tips. I did everything right except my remote decided to not work. so all 300 or so looked terrible. Silly string in the sky. Oh well next year. 
This was my first time being able to shoot fireworks after the Online Lessons …. I used the long shutter and got some fantastic shots. Thanks again Kent for your wonderful style of teaching.

I stumbled on an interesting idea and challenge – make a six month time exposure with a pinhole camera. Yes, you read that correctly. No typo here, sixxxxx months....

This is SUPER cool! Reading this makes me realize that it’s the underlying mechanics of how photos are actually captured using light that I don’t know nearly enough about. I can’t wait to see the 6 month exposure!
This caught the attention of my boys. How fun! I hope you get some great shots with it.
Thanks, fingers crossed 
This is “way cool”.
