Wanda Is Pretty In Pink 07_09_05.jpg

When I snapped this picture I really didn't intend it to be my PAD photo. We were on a drive up in the mountains I had the 300mm on just in case some interesting animal showed up along side the road. We got out and I just yelled over to Wanda to pose and I snapped a couple of quick photos.

I have another subject that I have been working on; but, I just can't get a photo I'm happy with. I tried this evening and the photos all kind of sucked. I have some new ideas that I'm going to try tomorrow.

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM
1/1000s f/4.0 at 420.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Gee, and I thought my wife was the only woman that flipped the finger whenever a camera was pointed her direction

Wes,

Yep, That is Ian's Miata you see in the reflection of My glasses. We were on an outing with the Miata Club on Nebo Loop.

Jim, when Bill snapped these pictures I kept telling him I was NOT there to pose for pictures. He had hollered to Me from the parking lot and I really didn't want to smile for him. In fact, there are a couple of very unlady-like pictures he snapped where I am blocking the view of My face with the international one finger salute. I finally relented and gave him a quick smile.

Before reading Wes's comment I was trying to figure out the background in the glasses and figured it was some kind of Miata get together.

" We got out and I just yelled over to Wanda to pose and I snapped a couple of quick photos."

Sorry Bill, but I'm not buying this for a second, you guy's are way too professional for that. This great high key effect and ref lection in the glasses doesn't happen from a simple snapshot. And thank you for another PAD of Wanda, spoil us away.

Best regards, Jim
