Wanda 10_17_05.jpg

Wanda and I took a quick run up the canyon this morning looking for a little light to work in for todays photo. I really needed a hint of fill flash for this image. Just a few spots of hair are blowing out; but, really the exposure is pretty good.

Here is an out take that I kind of like on one level and really dislike on another level, it really doesn't work http://www.pbase.com/image/50911887

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM
1/400s f/2.8 at 300.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Actially, I had *NOT* seen the old PAD picture... but now that I have, I can see I was right. ;)

Beautiful as always. The thing about you Wanda is you are a natural. That is why you always look great in earth tones. You are a photographers dream. Capturing your beauty is as easy as breathing. You appear to have lost some weight and I believe will start a fashion trend with those pants....lol...!

Wanda,
I love this photo. It is one of your best takes ! Oh I love the sexy ones too!
But with the tree, small branch in upper left corner and the way your hair is
highlighted by the back light, well its just gorgeous. I bet Bill had a lot to do with
the setting. Keep up the good work !!

Wanda, I can't count the number of times that you and Bill have brought a smile to my face, and not just from laffin, so as far as I'm concerned you've had many good day's.
Wm. Bates19-Oct-2005 01:10
Jim,

Yes, it occured to Me WHY the pants were on sale. (laffin) In fact, I always go right for the sale rack to see what ugly things I can find. When I spotted these pants I held them up for Brandy to see and exclaimed, "look how hideous these are! I have to have them!" (laffin and laffin) It's kind of My trademark to wear the most ugly things I can find to work. (grin) It gives everyone in the world something to laugh at. And if I can bring a smile to the face of another person, then I have done something good for that day.

And I didn't chew you out. . .I just pointed out that pink and green do to go together! Cuz I see mother nature putting those colors together all the time! (bright smile)

What a lovely shot . Wanda, I promised myself I would never comment on your wardrobe after the the last time you chewed me out for it, but do you ever wonder why you keep finding these things on sale? (kidding OK) as we all know you look good in anything, the garbage bag certainly proved that.

Fantastic work again Bill

Wanda, Those pants might have been ugly in the store.. but on you they are HOT!

Mikel,

You must be refering to one of our past PAD pictures. . . (laffin). .. must have been from the weird, wacky , Wanda series. .. .I'll have to go back and look at that picture again, just for a laugh. (s)

It's a very crowded field, but this photo is right at the top of my favourite Wanda shots. John

Nice blurry background. I also like the lighting on the hair.

Such a nice picture for your beautiful wife ! She is really your luck star.

How could anything possibly look bad on this woman?
Eric Hewis18-Oct-2005 07:52
Better to have butt-ugly pants than an ugly...
Robin Reid18-Oct-2005 06:24
You look great in camos Wanda. @ LOL at JHR. This is a lovely, warm shot.
Wm. Bates18-Oct-2005 05:55
Ok, I will say it so no one else has to. .. . Those are some butt-ugly pants I am wearing! (laffin) But, they were on sale and they ARE fall colors, so how could I resist? Besides, It takes a real confident woman to wear pants THAT kind of ugly, and I like to think that I have a bit of self confidence. (s)
