Great timing on the shot of the kids Walt. I had the same experience with a beautifully restored fire engine locally - parked on the entry to a church (modern, so not photogenic) and with a huge white sign behind it which got into every frame. Wound up doing mainly detail shots to avoid it.

The first was taken with the K20D -- a couple of kids I spotted skipping stones on the Ohio River: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/8366207558/ f/8, 1/640, ISO 200 The second with the K-5 -- an old fire engine that was parked in such a way that made me want to strangle whoever put it there. I couldn't get a decent shot of the side of it without a bunch of crap in the way, which was really disappointing: http://www.flickriver.com/photos/walt_gilbert/8366248736/ f/2, 1/400, ISO 200 I wish I'd been closer for the river scene so I could have taken it with the K-5, but I'm still pretty happy with it. I'm still bummed about the placement of the fire engine. It really would've made a nice shot. But, I did what I could with what I had. Comments, critiques and suggestions as to how to go about killing the owner of the fire truck without getting caught are eagerly encouraged.
