This is not a good shot:-) For obvious reason we didn't want to disturb mom and tots so I was trying to shoot between the car door frame (the yellow flare on the left) and the side mirror. Not a good place to try and fit the lens I was using.
I like the shot anyway.

on August 13, 2007What a great shot, regardless of the flare. This is certainly not something you're probably going to see very often.

on August 13, 2007PJ you know I'm not going to do any serious PP:-) And yer right, had it been anything but this scene I wouldn't have even taken the shot.

on August 13, 2007Sometimes you just need to get the shot. This is obviously one of them.
Some serious post-processing would help cut the flare to a dull roar, but regardless, the image does what it is supposed to do and the focal point is clear so... good job!

on August 13, 2007Indeed a great shot!! How frustrating to have the obstacles in the way. You did a great job of "threading the needle" to capture this moment. Very sweet shot.
