Heck for some people here in Rural MO that would still be in use and just need a bit of a sprucing up! I really like it. And yeah too bad about the challenge timing!

Long lost cousins

Actually it's only a bit high. Do you realize how much that Santa and his display costs a day? Plus the photographers time and equipment? I tried to rent a Santa for a fundraiser and just a Santa and a suit with nothing to place him in is $250-$400 a day. I would have had to double what I was going to charge for a photo in order to make any money for the organization I was going to raise money for.

I'm impressed, of course not as impressed if you could have handheld that shot. LOL

Actually I'd say you did a great job especially considering how new you were to the gear and added a TC to it.

I actually like this as an artistic type shot, the slow shutter speed and blur on the players with your husband still being sharp is nice. However on a typical sports shot I try to get the fastest shutter speed I need to stop action, or nearly stop action depending on the sport I'm shooting........F11 works on this shot, but probably not on many from that day.

I would suggest you find a small light/flash meter to help you adjust the strobes. As you note the hairlight/backlight is really bright. But you have captured a good expression for him.

Very dramatic sky and while not a fan of HDR this seems to really work and add to the photo. One thing I find odd is the small white frame only seems to be on the right and bottom on this view.

As interesting as the view of the mountain is, I really like the pattern and color of the roof with the trees in the background.

Zoom? I gotta admit I like it, but I stared at it a bit too long and it made me dizzy!
