Lovely and lively thread !!! BUT....

Would it perhaps make sense NOT to include the posted images in every comment we make so we don't get a whole webpage with the repeating photographs? Just an idea ...

It probably would make sense. It's been mentioned before, but continues regardless. Sometimes, however, it does help give reference when the image commented on is some distance back in the thread.

My newly married niece and her husband came home from their honeymoon over the weekend. We gathered this evening at her in-laws to watch them open their wedding presents. The women in attendance found that interesting, but I was more drawn to activities of the little ones. A few samples:

Lloyd: previous comment notwithstanding, I feel I must include these photos in my response. because they are a joy to watch.

The subjects, the lighting, the ' with love' capture and the sensitive presentation on these photos should be studied and emulated.

Excellent Lloyd. :salute:

Regards.

Matt,

Thanks Matt and everyone else for the kind comments.

I'd like to say that I was hanging above the river on a bosen's chair that I'd rigged up and set up the shot ... but I wasn't :ROTFL:

There's a spit / harbor at Hood River that extends into the river and I had a premium view into the gorge from about 8 feet up. The poor guy on the wind surfer must have fallen off and climbed back on that board 10x before he finally sailed into my photogenic scenic view where I wanted him. (I was secretly willing him to sail over and stay up as it was pretty windy).

The shot was there with the low sun, glowing sail and the scenery but every time he got where I wanted him he'd fall off or the sun would go behind a cloud. The sun was low and the contrast quite extreme so it took some work to balance the highlights against totally blocking up the shadows but I'm pleased with the final shot. It think this was 1/4000 @ f/8 @ ISO 160 which gives you some idea of the light. For my final print version I actually put some of the blacks back in for more contrast.

I'm not sure if I've posted here in this thread yet, but I'm still getting a hang of the M9. Here's one of the few shots so far I actually did ok with ;)
(Tom in Mpls, meet my newborn son I've told you about!)

Panda81: Beautiful photo (and son). I really like the dark surround, the concentration of light on your son, and the bit of light from the window on the wall giving it some depth. Great B&W PP.

Lloyd: Great photos. Light and color are perfect! Hard to pick favorites, but I love #1 and # 3 (the light on the baby's very cool). Well seen with fast focusing.
