Description

Both of my images this week are from a local park that I went to. I have to say, it was tough to take photos of other peoples kids and not my own ;) I was a bit worried about parents getting upset... I just smiled (like you said) and no one seemed to mind - I think they all felt less threatened because I had my kids with me and I'm not a man. I had on my big lens which screamed "photographer" and think in this case it worked to my advantage.

*Converted using the B&W adjustment layer in CS3 (I love this new feature, CS2 didn't have it). Levels adjustment and contrast and unsharp mask as well.

1/125 f/8 ISO200 55mm
