Shots from a local festival - Sony F717

This first one is for Nat - I know how she loves the mother daughter connection.

And Charles... well - this is a new fountain by the Knoxville Convention Center - there were about a dozen or so kids playing in it around 9:30pm last night - I opened the shutter for three seconds for this one - I can't believe the girl in the middle there stood still so long.

That has to be one of the most tender moments between a mommy and child...what a sweet shot..Thanks. and the second awesome she looks liek she almost doesn't belong---like a shot of color in the dark---the agh! is for the water that got on your camera (I see waterdroplets on the lens. :eek: )

Thanks for these and the thought behind them...;) It's nice to start the day of with a smile...because up until this point I haven't seen the value in being woken up at 5:30 by my kids :rolleyes:

Thanks for the pics, and I do like your 2nd shot here...good exposure and sharpness on the girl, nice blur with the fountain. NIce gallery, Andy, some strong people pics in there.
