This was a fun night for Braden. Gram spilled her coke at the table and Braden go soaked... so into the tub... This shot and the two following were taken with available light with a Nikon D300 at ISO 3200 @ 1/60 to 1/100 second @ f/2.8 with a Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 lens (auto iso and auto white balance shot at 12-bit raw). No noise reduction was used and the only photo shop adjustment applied was sharpening. I was impressed with the image quality and sharpness at this level of sensor sensitivity.
Dinner was messy tonight and Braden needed to clean-up afterward. "I'll do it myself!" were his words when his mom tried to help him finish up...
Not a happy camper here...

Jessica is starting to get around now. Crawling and getting into whatever is available. I interrupted her while she was beating on a big stainless steel mixing bowl.

The pressure was really on the youngsters. There was lots of intensity in their eyes and most didn't relax until their part in the program was over. All the keepers can be seen on my Picassa Site.




















Toward the end of the evening.

 Today it rained on my sunflower. Two treatments. One in color and one without. Soon there won't be anything left of my sunflower. Just ...
