I finally got mine to sit still for Mom's Christmas picture.
Nikon D70 w/18-70
F/8 1/250
Alien Bee 1600's at 1/4 power into white umbrellas

You got nick to sit still.......
And SMILE.....well at least smirk nicely........
Did you promise an alienware to him or something? get him an X-Box?
Very nice picture, Sylver, I'm sure it will be a great addition to the album, assuming you actually print it out ;)

Thanks H. I hope you had a great holiday. Go to bed, you better be awake in class tomorrow.

Better than my first attempt, but didn't have the kids to practice on. Only main thing is the cut off feet, try not to do that.

[MJS]

Thanks, believe it or not, that is the crop my wife the editor made. As she put it, we already know the toes and foot are there.

[Peter_AUS]

Now that is funny. Sorry for accusing you Of Doing It, should have known better ;) .

Bring Back the Toes, Bring Back the Toes .

Good to see the wife takes interest in your photography.

Mine can't work a computer to save herself.

That's what happens when the broadcast journalist and photographer (me), meets a print journalist in college and falls under her spell. We'll be married 23 years next Saturday. She is one hell of a print and photo editor. Neither my 14 year old son or I like to show her our papers, be they school or professional because of the lethality of her red editing pen.

Enjoy the new toys.

[Peter_AUS]

Believe me, if she has a positive effect on your 14 year old son and improves the way he writes and expresses himself, then he will be gratefull for it in the long term.

My wife and I have been married 25 1/2 years now and my children are younger than yours. 12 and 9 both girls.

Will enjoy the toys, thanks.
