Hello, Johno here. The new guy. I thought I would share this photo I took of my son last summer at the zoo. I don't know if this should go in the people candids or the animal, wildlife area. I guess it doesn't matter. This is not a Photoshop fix. It is the reflection of my son off the glass at the polar bear exhibit. I really enjoy reading and seeing the things on this site... I am trying to learn how to be a better photographer. Any comments welcome. I shot this with the fuji s5000. I had to really reduce it down so i could load it on the site. Any information on how to post pictures would be helpful.

peace.

    that is a really cool capture! I love reflections!

    BTW, if you want to avoid that shrinking down and attaching problem, I'll put in a shameless plug for the sponsor, smugmug.com




    and a further shameless plug for myself, use my coupon code and we both win:     aT0XJIAi0YgaQ

    It's kinda funny... At first I was trying to get a close up of the bear. I was frustrated at a glare I noticed at the bottom of the picture. Then i realized it was my son... Three shots later the shot of a lifetime. It's funny how we can be in the "zone" to "catch" the "right" shot and almost miss something so wonderful. Thanks W, I will try to stop posting pictures like this... But. no promises. :D

    peace.

    OK... I am trying the linking to the web picture thingy. These two shots came before the one above... So everyone knows it was not as easy as it looks.
    peace.

    Thank you! What a great help you have been today... If no one says, "thank you" to you for the rest of this week, let mine echo through. You have been a great help.

    What a wonderful shot! I'm glad you posted the early tries. I like to know that other people have the same difficulties that I have. Hard to get those models to stay put. Good thing the bear was sleeping. :D funny how he could sleep with that little kind right under his nose. rolleyes1.gif
