Nice pic, Bruce - and you're not alone! I find taking good portraits of close family members really hard: maybe it's because we don't really look at them with the same dispassionate eye we do with a less intimate subject?

Or is it just me? :-) K20D, DA* 16-50/2.8 @ 36mm, f/5.6, ISO200. AF540FGZ in 40" convertible umbrella, slightly above, camera right. Triggered optically from K20D. PP: LR3.5, PS CS5 I must also acknowledge the assistance of Tessa, our German Short-Haired Pointer, who pulled goofy faces behind me which got the best expressions from the subject. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
