Hi everyone - I'm new here and just getting settled into my smugmug home. I'm a flickr refugee looking for something more configurable. Looks like I've found it! Here's my favorite model, our daughter CJ.

Dave,
Welcome!

Nice pic, but I think it needs to be rotated.:D

Actually, it looks a little soft to me. I think you focused on the tip of the nose instead of the eyes.

Keep on posting.

Welcome!

I like the shot. Very cute and relaxed.

I also checked out your site and your blog. Both are very nice.

You'll find that I'm a major Machead, as well. I shoot Canon, though! How are you liking that D200? Your shots on your site are excellent, post some more!

Another Mac user here! And I have a CJ too, my grandson, Christopher James. He will be 5 next month.

I love your first year project in your gallery! We used video and stills to make a "CJ's first year" video tape for the great grandmas and others! We never managed to do the following years, but we have loads of photos, and my daughter keeps a "baby book."

Now that I have a memory stick pro, I'm taking more and more movies with my Sony camera so if and when we do digital albums we'll have plenty of imagery.

How are you liking that D200?

Thanks all - I appreciate the welcome and feedback! My D200 hasn't arrived yet. I keep waiting for B&H to notify me. In the meantime, I drool over the first-hand reviews over at nikonians.org (http://www.nikonians.org/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=list&forum=DCForumID202&conf=DCConfID3). In the meantime, I still give my D70 a workout.

Good to see other Mac users here. I guess we're all waiting for the second Christmas to arrive Jan. 10 at the Macworld Keynote Address! In Korea it streams across the net at 2 am Jan. 11 - yes, I set my alarm and watch it every year! :wink

Welcome to the forum. I see you've received your first "it's soft" comment on your photos. Only a photo forum would produce folks who see a cute kid pict and think "gee, they eye's aren't prefectly sharp" :)

[to that poster, it's all good, a fun thing, not a big criticism]
