You are kidding... Just the 70-200 with 1.4 converter Attached to the 20 D

At family get together...

Framed again and a small clone tool on the chair (?) in CS4. Little curves adjustment and Brightness and contrast

Well the only lens I have seen closely is my 18-55mm kit lens.
Hoping to see a 70-300mm soon. 4-5.6F

Hey Peter, she is a cute little kid. Mind me asking, she has down syndrome?

Hi Sahil,

Yes she has. But eveyone who meets her is captivated, she has the most gorgeous smile and a wicked sense of humour.

Hi Peter,

I hope I didn't offend you in anyway. I am sorry if I did. Actually my real sister also has down syndrome. And she is a darling! I love her more than anything. These special kids give you unconditional love and happiness.
Give my love to the little cute girl!

No offence taken. I believe she was sent to us as a gift, she brings joy to our whole family

[Sahil]

We have the same belief about my sister!

This is very nice, Antonio! Was it shot under harsh sunlight? Or it was late afternoon?

Anyway, very well exposed!

... Was it shot under harsh sunlight? Or it was late afternoon? Anyway, very well exposed!

Neither one nor the other
It was very early morning - may be 5 o'clock - in the desert of North Africa, in Morocco
The Sun had not appeared at that time and the light was increasing very quickly

Picture Perfect!
The cute kid seems to be checking out the how fast the lens is!

Hello Peter.
Thank you for posting this nice picture of your grand-daughter

But Peter, I think you should check if your camera is focusing correctly because - apparently - your images are out of focus.

May be the central focusing point is not chosen and the camera chooses another one causing the photos to be blurred. There must be something wrong, somewhere.
Allow me to suggest you make some test shots about this matter to improve sharpness.

Cheers

HI Antonio,

I see what you mean. Having checked the camera settings I have discovered that because I had turned off the focus point superimposition I hadn't noticed that the camera was using its own choice of focus point. I had set up C1 on the camera for flash portraits but missed that
