Default First time IN FRONT of camera!

Last night of vacation in the Outer Banks of NC and we decided to get some family pictures. This was a rare feat because I am RARELY in front of the camera and it is even more rare that my wife agrees to use my D300. The tilted camera angle was actually by accident because my wife said the camera was getting to heavy for her. The more I worked on this photo in PP the mroe I liked the tilt.

I like the tilt too, it really works with the photo! Nice to see you. From the looks of your little guy there, it appears you had a wonderful vacation!
