Description when you shoot a subject so often ... such is the case with my daughter ... the percentage of shots that you really like ... it goes down.

luckily, my little girl has gotten used to being in front of a camera and letting her personality come out. sure ... there's times when she's like, " enough of that camera."

but ... i was skulking around at her girl scout thingy ... got the angle. she saw me. but didn't give me a weird face ...

it just captured her thoughtful self.

in that ... i know there is a God.

continually amazed at how good this Canon L glass performs. i'm a former nikon-snob that is now eating crow. a whole murder of crows. but ... i'm smiling.

Canon 1D / 70-200mm 2.8 wide open / 400 iso / 250th of a sec?

I love it, especially the fact, that all the people around are blurred... perfect focus... I also like her expression.
My preferred subject at the moment is my niece (14 months old) she's so cute and adorable... and you're right about the percentage of shots that satisfy me

btw

that is just, awesome i think its the blurs but the details in the blurs of people that makes them completely annoymous (sp) and they have this weird pose, i dunno i cant explain in the way that i'm seeing it. but then theres here perfectly, focused daughter of yours pulling this yeah really quite meaninful (to you i'm sure) thoughtful look.

has she seen it ? heh, i took a photo of my brother the other day ...it sucks but its of my brother and he's my buddy and i was looking past the shittiness of the photo, but here this is just great

catch you later buddy and merry athiest christmas

wonderful shot and beautiful reason for it. moments captured are moments not lost.

your shutter was 1/320th (your image still had the EXIF data in it - accesable via "Properties" on your images [at least in Windows - don't know if you are a Mac user]).

Very nice shot! Love the depth of field and everything. I wish my 70-300 could go down to f/2.8. Oh well. Anyways, very thoughtful shot, you seemed to have really captured the moment. I like.

Must be digital because the file also contained the info for shutter : Shutter Speed 1/332 second ... [i was interested because you said "250th of a sec? "] Anyway, nice photo... I wish there was more of a motion blur of the other girls rather than just the focusing blur... but it still gives the effect of movement and such... And I know what you mean about constantly shooting subjects and eventually having your likeness of their photos go down... Although I am glad to have some of my friends for subjects... cheaper than hireing a professional model to practice photography with... Nice photo...

the shutter was OPEN 1/332nd, but the images was exposed for 1/320th. little bug in the dA exif data grabbing for 1D's i think, since they use 2 fields.
