had to laugh at the comment that he'd spent most of his life in front of the camera .. same with katee and our little budgie .. i use the flash a fair bit and it doesnt faze them at all .. ppl complain and i wonder wot they're going on about .. at the party i took a few shots holding the camera up above my head and pointing down and suddenly realised wot everyone had been going on about .. '!! .. its blinding .. !!!
anyway . this is a lovely pic judy .. his expression is wonderful .. it seems a cross between patient and when will she stop .. !! .. which of course is a contradiction but that's life .. :)

Star trails over Mt. Hood

this is one of the most awesome shots i've ever seen in dpc .. and that's saying a lot coz the quality in this site is something to be reckoned with & i've viewed thousands and thousands ..
i've read your write up .. i went thru a few emotions myself reading reading it .. humour .. it was pretty funny seeing in pics how your mood changed as the voters gave you their all .. and then reading how you set this shot up i was blown away ... it just goes to show .. a top photographer who is willing to go the extra mile or more will get something incredibly special ..
i feel like an ant by comparison ... or at least a small bug .. nothing against small bugs ... i actually like them a lot .. but one of these days, and i hope its in the not too distance future, i'll be able to get something half as wonderful as this .. :)
ps .. congrats on your blue ribbon .. you've set the bar very very high to get yourself a pb .. but i reckon you'll do it .. its just a matter of time .. :)
