Dunno why this isn't sharper. The camera was on a tripod, and set off by the self-timer. There was a better frame, taken with all of us standing at another location in the cemetary over the wall from where we live. But when Vincent set it up the faces were too dark. Only during this being set up in the computer did my son lighten the faces, something he could have done on the better shot. I didn't know it was a computer option. But, he'd finally given the okay for his likeness to appear, so I didn't make him go back and lighten the better frame. There was an empty space on the right (stage left, heh) which Vincent, age 12, cut off at my request. In bright sun it sure is tough seeing what you're shooting with a cheap digital camera. For one thing, you can't trust the eye-piece at all, only the picture on the back of the camera. Not used to that at all. Oh well, it's a 'brave new world,' ain't it?!

Hoping for your indulgence.

Yeah, when I first got my digital camera about 2 1/2 years ago, it took me awhile to get used to the monitor. Now, I don't ever use the viewfinder unless the lighting is so bright that I can't see the image on the monitor. It's nice to have a choice, though. Vincent is learning fast the ways of photography. This family portrait looks relaxed and natural. It feels like a Sunday afternoon in the park photo. The boys are all beautiful... handsome like their dad, with mom's beautiful complexion! Nice family portrait, Vincent. Yes, a 'brave new world!' bea

You must be very young at heart to keep up with those boys and just wait til the baby starts walking! :)
Very handsome family.
