Under the sky and dreaming...
Uploaded: March 10, 2009
18mm, iso400, 1/8000 @ 2.8, Shot in early evening as the sun was starting to set. Metered for Highlights and used SB800 on camera bounced for fill. I was chasing my 14 month old son around trying to get some captures of him as he was playing. The image reminded me of myself as a kid daydreaming... How I wish I could return to those days. Thank goodness for my son... because of him I can still be a kid all over again!

Wonderful photo Moe! The POV you used is perfect!!!!Moe Vang March 29, 2009
Thank you everyone for your kind words. I'm just fortunate to have this capture of my son. It's rare that I can get him to stay still for a moment to get a decent shot of him. So, I'll take what I can when he allows me. Thanks again. #7350236Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
