Under the sky and dreaming...

Uploaded: March 10, 2009

Description

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!

Exif: F Number: 2.8, Exposure Bias Value: -0.67, ExposureTime: 1/8000 seconds, Flash: fired, compulsory flash mode, return light detected, ISO: 400, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 18.00 mm, Model: NIKON D700

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. #7350236
