What I liked most about this photo is it seemed to capture her
personality, a little girl who is very expressive, animated and loves to
show off.


You picked up on what I think Mrs.E's. photo taking talent is, considering
she has no training. The mechanics may be off ... meaning lighting,
composition, etc., but she has a natural gift for taking pictures that
captures the essence of the subject. Very few of her portrait pictures seem
posed.

My youngest has a friend who picked up a Canon something or other DSLR
- she's in med school and eventually wants to get into psychiatry -
figured she could do candids and interviews - take pictures.

From day one she took unbelievable candid portraits.

Never been able to figure it out. Some folks have the eye, some don't
I guess.

My daughter is that way. When in high school, she had best in class at the
local county fair and went on to an honorable mention at the Calif. State
Fair. But both girls are very artistic.

I try not to make my pics look posed. Sometimes when I am taking pics
of family I will have them slowly move around and just keep shooting
until I get some I like. Then again, some don't need any coaching to
tell a story.

And any of you photo guys want to take a crack at cleaning this one
up? Go for it..

I don't see well so I can't tell if it's sharp enough to work with,
but I like it..

And as usual, any of you who wanted to use trip-reports for your own
photos feel free to ask. No ads, and you can password protect your
area for family and friends only if you wish..

trip-reports.com where did you go today?

Nice one. The champ doesn't need touching up.
Those crappies are really nice.
Do you fillet them or just gut and fry?

Not talking about what the happy girl is holding. Look at what the
guys got. Sorry I wasn't clear on that.

Calico, he wants to break the state record. He has come within ounces
a couple of times.

==========================================

Actually I think those are Crappie not Calico Bass. Or, maybe Calico is
local name for what is actually a Crappie. Here in Florida the Crappies are
referred to as specs. I have caught Crappies in one place I fish down here
close to three pounds. Lots of fun and great eating.
