Ha.  I was standing on the deck, a few feet above them as they ran past.  gs

You were monumentally tall back in the day, it seems!   :) :)

Right on, George. Without something worthwhile to shoot and something
to say about it, it's all just gear collecting.

I love the purely exuberant moment in the shot. Your PoV really makes
it special.

PESO - Waterfight!

[George Sinos]

This is one of my favorite photos.  Taken long ago with a Spotmatic.

I missed the focus.  They ran from a brightly lit part of the yard
into shadow and I didn't react fast enough so the original was
underexposed.  Just think, if I had the fancy auto-focus,
auto-exposure camera of today it would be be a technical masterpiece!
Well, probably not.  More likely it would be mis-focused and poorly
exposed in a different way.

 I scanned it from a 13 year old faded slide, cropped it, tried to fix
the exposure, and cloned out a bunch of junk that was cluttering up
the yard.

Anyway, as technically poor as it is, this photo has always been and
continues to be a favorite because of the content. I'm going to make a
small print.  It will make a nice addition to the family photos that
hang on the wall.
