One from today

[frede]

While at Disney's MGM Studio's, we stopped by for a quick face painting. I was forced to used the dreaded on camera flash, and my 18-55 kit lens - the only zoom that I own. The coordinating colors were happenstance. Vaca is going well - I think we actually got through today without a major meltdown - those who have young children will know what I mean.:wink:

Precious little girl! Love to hear the happy news of, not only a good vacation, but of a meltdown-free day! Yes....I know EXACTLY what you mean! I hope tomorrow is just as successful for you! :smile:

Fred, great shot...

You mean there is such a thing as a melt-down free day? Wow..never heard of such a thing...

There's way too many people poo-pooing those on-camera flashes but when you just want a picture to capture the moment they're A LOT better than nothing.

Your daughter is darling and the face painting is cute as can be. Love the coordinated colors.

Love the candy necklace - btw - mine is 24 and major meltdowns still occur, they are just more costly - gorgeous little girl! Enjoy your vacation and taking pictures of your kids, not portraits, just regular old pictures!!

Thanks John. Actually I said "Major Meltdown" - you are right, the is no such thing as a melt-down free day. :smile:

Yea, without the OCF this shot would not have been possible. I brought along my SB600, but it adds too much bulk to the camera.

Thanks Gordon. The colors worked out perfectly.

Thanks Stephanie. I can only imagine the meltdowns that are in my future. Guess it's just part of the parent biz. :smile:

Fred, I've been wondering how your vacation has been going. You've had great weather!!

Nice pic to capture the moment. You've successfully kept her entertained with expensive face painting and a candy necklace. That's why no meltdown!!!

Don't apologize for the on camera flash. It comes in handy. I recently just bought a D200 for just these situations when I don't want to lug around a D2X and an SB800.

Keep the vacation pics coming!!

Thanks Mitchell. The vacation is going well, though it took us 2 days to figure out how hard to push the kids. They can only take so much "fun"....:biggrin:

Well not a MAJOR meltdown anyway.

I agree. I went out with my SB600 one day, but it was just too much gear to lug around with the kids.

More pics coming.
