A fun and beautiful self-portrait, Donna! How many times did you have to try to get that timing right?? Love this. #10514686

Julianne Bradford January 14, 2013

I was laughing so-o hard..You just wanted an excuse to jump for joy at the great sunset pix we were getting! Love this..fav for me girlfriend. So-o glad we went! #10514792

Donna La Mattino Pagakis January 14, 2013

Thanks so much. I went out in front of the camera, three times, jumped twice. But I bracketed the exposures, so I had 6 photographs to choose from. This was the first exposure from my second jump.

Anyway, it was fun. It was so pretty, I couldn't help but jump and sing with delight. I'm glad Julianne didn't mind hanging out with me. LOL!!!

Take care all,

Donna #10514808

Beautiful shot! As always! I'm curious Donna if you would share with me how you get such glossy shots? #10515169

Donna La Mattino Pagakis January 14, 2013

Thanks Carol. I will send a private email, because I want to make sure I understand your question.

But for my sunset shots, I use a tripod. I love my Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM lens and use it whenever possible!! #10515191
