Just My Girl, At The Beach

Thank you all! The first was a total candid, the latest were part of a little shoot we did one evening just before sunset.

Paige - you are not going to believe this... $130 discontinued 70-210 I bought of the good will auction site. Most were shot around 1/500 6.3. I didn't even want to use that one but my work-horse didn't have time to acclimate to the humidity outside.

The white dress ones are totally adorable! THree cheers for old 70-210 zooms! MOST older 70-210 lenses is/are/were pretty decent, especially in the f/6.3-f/8 range....it's difficult to go wrong. I love light,airy feeling shots like those two.

It's a great lens! Mine has a small, non-disruptive crack in the plastic, but I have to admit that I love the (albeit outdated) push/pull zoom technology.

Couple more, I can't help myself. These are some of my favorite photos I've ever taken.

Oh Emm Gee, she is a cute little child!!! I like the slight blurring on the feet. One thing that makes these so nice is how fresh and clean her dress is--it's not all sandy and dirty and weighted down by water on the bottom part...that always makes a white dress or skirt look less than optimal, and at the seashore, it's pretty tough to avoid...sand and ocean water!!!

One thing about the two shots in post #8 is that they "stack" so wonderfully! Just looks great. Her expression sin these crack me up. Kids at that age are just so wonderful--no pretense...just "real".

Jessie, they are all precious. Print them up and then put a copy away until she's all grown up and doing some major stage of life (like getting married). :thumbyo:

I'll forgive you for calling me Jessie since your comment was one of the greatest I've ever received

Funny, was just talking about this at work yesterday. Jess is preferred

But seriously. Thank you. That means a lot!!

. I got her dressed just before heading out to avoid sandiness. I have a few of her holding her dress up so it doesn't get wet lol
