My darling niece, shrieking with joy while swinging in her backyard. Unfortunately, the sun was direct and harsh, and I hadn't learned the trick of manual exposure settings just yet, so her face is sort of blown out ... so I figured this photo called for some Photoshop play. This fun filter is called Colorized, and comes from Pioneer Woman's 2nd set of actions. Good stuff.
Oh, this is also when I discovered my new 70-300mm Tamron lens is godawful slow to auto-focus. I finally focused on her face on the backswing, and waited for her to get back in frame before shooting. Sigh. That's the difference between a $200 lens and a $2,000 lens, I guess.
Shot with Nikon D200 at 300mm, 1/1250s at f/5.6, December 29, 2008.
