I'm seeing the photo thru my email link but not thru the forum.
Is it just my work PC?

Either way, really great! I hope other folks are able to see it.

It's been awhile since I've posted. The link is http://www.desmidt.net/sophia.htm Is the link supposed to be directly to the jpg instead?

Sorry for the issue,
Peter

**Sonnie** · **12-15-07, 07:29 PM**

Yeah... you had the website link in between the [img] instead of the image link. I fixed it for you.

Excellent picture btw...

I was gonna post one too, but after seeing that first photo I won't bother.

It's definetly one of my top 3 photos of all time. Stunning!

**Sonnie** · **12-20-07, 01:11 AM**

Please don't deny us seeing your photo... you never know how people will vote.

**atledreier** · **12-20-07, 02:23 AM**

Ok, here's what early winter looks like in these parts...

Edit: url trouble
Edit2: after all that, and I managed to pick the wrong picture.. Fixed now, though..

**tweeksound** · **12-20-07, 06:59 AM**

Ya, like I said, you never know which photo might just catch the eye in a way people respond to.
And if you keep it locked up in a folder on your hard drive, you really will never know.

You posted the web site URL but I can't find the picture.
I will host the picture if you want.

This photo was taken two years ago when I went to the Legislature grounds in my home city just before Christmas.
It was one of only a few Christmases here that there was no snow until the new year.

I added the text to it because of the holidays:

**tweeksound** · **12-27-07, 02:51 PM**

Wow, tonyvdb!
That's beautiful!

Any others?

I have to dig thru my archives for a picture I took last year and post it.
Christmas lights make every picture look nice!

Hi Bob,

I'm glad that you like it. The model was my daughter Sophia at age 1.5. It was taken at Christmas 2006. EI 3200 and f1.8. I really didn't expect to get a decent shot because of the very low light. (I was sitting at my computer an saw her looking at the tree. I grabbed my camera, switched the settings and shot. Anyone who's taken pictures of kids knows how little time one has to capture something good. You can see more photos of her at my site, www.desmidt.net. Happy New Year!
