Love in her eyes . . .

Lovely

Lovely shots.

 

Very nice Joe.
My 13 y/o daughter is a joy to me so I know exactly how you feel about her. I'm trying to get her to grow up a little slower but I'm failing.

You have reinforced something I already know...my next new acquisition will be a 135DCf2. That's the range I'm most often in with my 70-200.

Good to have you still posting with your "brand-x" equipment. It is nice to be at the point that the brain and the eye matter rather than the camera, given the profusion of good gear all around.

 

Joe, ten years from now when you look back on the pictures you took from this time period, I'm sure these will be some of your favorites. That first pic is an absolutely wonderful capture, congratulations!

 

you are so lucky

Your children are young in this wonderful age of digital photography. I would love to have taken pictures of my girls like this when they were little. We do have lots of snapshots and home videos, but nothing like these wonderful pictures.

 

Joe,

You grabbed the moment alright - nicely captured.

As a parent too, I well recognise these times and take alot of family moments also.

Your daughter almost looks like he has claimed "ownership" of your boy, a wonderful bind if you ask me.

 

Joe :

I wouldn't worry too much about the gear issue. I've pointed several people to the Cafe who are Canon shooters because we have such a supportive group - capable of looking at the photo with experienced and thoughtful eyes. Getting good feedback is one of the advantages of the Cafe, regardless of the gear in use.

Insofar as I'm concerned, I'm quite curious about how the Canon gear is working for you, and I look forward to your comments about the relative merits or lack with specific items. After all, you're much better qualified to comment about the issues having used so much Nikon gear.

As for the photos, it's always a delight to see your beautiful children, especially when so well captured by you in your work.

both awesome shots

 

Joe, that is precious!!

 

Sweet shots Joe. Glad you have settled down on the new gear

 

Joe :

Yup, I read that discussion. It was a rational decision for your needs, and I certainly can't argue with it. I do miss the opportunity to read about your exploits with Nikon gear, but now I can honestly read about Canon gear from a man who's done work I very much respect, and can therefore read with confidence. Good stuff.

Me, I kinda doubt that I'll be switching. I'm having too much fun with "old" Nikon gear like my 55mm f/1.2 CRT these days. And someday... someday, I'll get a body like the D2X. Maybe. :lol:
