Default First Thanksgiving (aka I Want it Now!)
Just wanted to see what everyone thought of this pic of my son on his first Thanksgiving. It was a very spontaneous shot; my wife walked past the turkey and my son just wanted it more then anything in the world. I got very lucky in that I had my camera ready, the kitchen had just enough light, and I always keep the aperture wide open (thus blurring that busy background).





edit: Sorry for using Imageshack.... it's about all I have access to right now!

Smitty, what a great shot! It doesn't hurt that your son was dressed sharp!

Default Adorable!
That's so sweet! Such a fantastic capture and the blurring of the busy background is good - I didn't even notice the background until you said something about it And I LOVE his outfit, especially his hat! Love it
