    How did you get them all to hold their heads up and pose at the same moment? That, in itself, is phenomenal.

    Oh they always pose that way once they notice you are there.

    Must be a reaction to a Nikon!rolleyes1.gif

    I just did a mom and two kids and had a hell of a time to get them to all raise their heads at once. Of course they had some tasty new mown hay to consider.

    thats because Nikon has a "business" meaning sound when you shoot.. not this weak "clak" of the canon ;)

    Any chance of camping in your garage?!
    C&C always welcome. I can't learn if I don't know what I've done wrong or could do better.

    Sure, but there is a much better view from the deck - my garage does not have windows.

    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!"
