Taken at my son's law school graduation. Another proud mother wandered in front of my camera while looking at her screen. I managed to grab this shot of her hands. It wasn't until I got home that I saw that the price tag was still on the camera. (The plastic loop on the left side.) 8)

The bokeh was pretty good, but I fooled around with the extract filter, masked the hands and camera, and put some more gaussian blur on the background.

It still has the plastic tether for the price tag attached. Hehe, that explains the title, then, doesn't it?

Not sure how this got resurrected, but glad it did - this is a very enjoyable, delightful shot!

That's great. I like the spread of the fingers... helps stabilize the camera:) for those without IS.

Great capture, and I really like the conversion. Nicely done, and congrats on your son's graduation.
