Blue Eyes

The last few weeks I’ve put my Leica aside and spent most of the time shooting with my Nikon D800E.  It has taken time getting accustomed to it because I’ve gotten so used to using a manual focus camera.  The Nikon D800E is a very large camera in comparison to my Leica and even though I like the picture quality, my Leica will still be at my side the majority of the time.  I love the challenge shooting with a manual focus camera.  Also, I find it at times more difficult to shoot in autofocus because it doesn’t necessarily focus on what I want it to.

 Here’s a recent picture of my beautiful baby girl.  We were heading out for a wagon ride and the light coming into the garage really accentuated her beautiful blue eyes.  She definitely got them from mommy.
