These are unfortunately soft. No large size prints here. The damn camera kept telling me it couldn't focus because there wasn't enough light. Bah!

    WOW !! you always pull one out of the bag mate. I opened the thread & my immediate statement was ..wow. That is a good shot.

    The light is beautiful.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thank you Eric.

    You just have to keep going back, again and again and again. That's the one thing I learned about photography, you may want to force the shot, but you can't, you just have to wait and be ready when luck shines your way.

    Thanks Skippy.

    That definately seems to have been one heck of a lot of eggs to lay and sit on. Maybe she was babysitting?ne_nau.gifD

    Thanks Gus.

    Early morning, late evening, the light is awesome to shoot in. Being I'm not a morning person, guess what light I choose.:D
