A little brag... - 06-16-2006, 06:20 PM


This won 2nd Place in the Adult non-professional Dr Pepper Day photo contest. I was either beaten by some cute babies with Dr Bottles or a damn Ferret with its nose in one. I don't know I had won anything until my wife went to pick it up this afternoon. There was a failure to communicate. Oh, it was with a 20D, 70-200 f/4.0L and printed at 12x18 after up reszing with GF.

That turn was pure luck. I was just playing with the 70-200 last year and back in May was looking at what I had shot the year before and decided that one had some hope.

If I had planned it, I would have turned them all toward the camera.
