Sunshine Girl

Zoe ready to go home after a long day in the park.
It's getting harder to keep up with this kid. This
was one of the few times she stood still for me!

Note: If you shoot Nikon digital, you owe it to yourself
to seek out the new 35mm f/1.8 AF-S DX lens. It is
a DX lens that also works really well on full-frame,
as I hope to show you in future postings. This relatively
"cheap" lens is crisp and contrasty. The bokeh can be a
bit "busy" at times, not Sigma-Lux smooth, but I like the
effect. Only problem is trying to find the lens, it's
backordered everywhere! Still, with some perseverance
it can be found. Be wary of scheisters trying to jack
up the price on this lens!

Great light;green; and always cute ZOE.
ZOE seams to be a little bit lost in the grass,a cute flower of Spring.

Delightful shot of Zoe, love the beautiful rim lighting.
And thanks for the recommendation on the Nikkor lens, Sam ~V~

Great memory for Zoe. Fantastic afternoon light. BV

D70s + 35 f/1.8DX almost the perfect budget combo, given one can still find a brand new (body only) D70s for <40,000yen in some shops in Japan. Haven't checked on the availability of the 35 f1/.8 DX here yet, I think the asking price is 20,000yen...

Oh Zoe, sooo cute! I love the expression and the rim light on her hair.
The soon to be supermodel. This is a fantastic catch Sam! Congrats!
