Surprisingly enough, they all look pretty normal.
Is the "long beautiful hair" girl in there?

Nice shot. Might be hard to find a frame to fit it though.

He's the ugly one in the back with the goofy grin.;)

My next trip to New Yak might have to include a visit to this family. They all look pretty harmless.

I am in the back row, second from right, between the lady in red and the girl in black with the blonde hair.

Yes, Curtis, the "beautiful hair" girl is all the way on the right holding the boy on her shoulders.

Nice shot. very even exposures. The darks may come out a little too dark in print though. Yeah, they look harmless enough.... ;)

Good job with the exposure on so many faces.

Why, thank you, Michael.

Handsome family, Mark. You all are looking good up in New York

Jim, appreciate your kindness.

Nice shot. very even exposures. The darks may come out a little too dark in print though. Yeah, they look harmless enough...

I printed it on my Epson 4800 at 16x20 and it actually looks great. It appears oversharpened on the web, but it prints perfectly that way. Thank you, Lloyd.

You are the only one that looks out of place with the family. :)

Doh!! That's because it's my wife's family, other than our kids. My family is much more normaler ;)

Very Nice Picture Mark......they do look normal.....:D

Handsome Family Mark...

they ain't. ;) Thanks. :)

Why is the short old lady in the back?

Good job with the exposure on so many faces.
The short old lady would be my kids' granny, and she goes where she wants to. She don't listen to me. In fact, nobody does. Not even here. :(

Nice family Mark. Did you photoshop the gray hair? ;)
Yes, I did. I wanted to look distinguished.

You musta used a fne lens like the 14 L or something for such a beautiful shot.

No, but I did for the shot of the house. I'll have to link you to that. It performed admirably. This was the 24-70 @ 35mm and f11, I believe.
Here ya go, this was with the 14. Whatcha think of this, Elan?

Beautifully done.

Me, ashamed of my best buddy? Never. But when you refused to take off that Bozo the Clown outfit with the big red nose, you left me no choice. :lol:

See above :lol:

Thank you, sir. And for those who don't know or aren't familiar with Elan, I purchased my 14L from him. He is a fine gentleman, sold me a beautiful lens for a great price, shipped instantly, and I'd do business with him again in a heartbeat.

Nice shot Mark. Nice gallery as well. I spotted you due to that George Clooney thing you got going on!
JA
Hey, you think I'm looking like Clooney? Humm, that's strange, 'cause my wife loves him, but doesn't even give me a second glance. I'll have to show her this. :(



Nice family, Mark. They all do look normal. :) How much did you eat since you are always dieting?
Not much, Suzy. Some shrimp appetizer, a small piece of lobster tail, and a turkey wing. No side, no dessert. Got to maintain that Clooney thing I got going. You hear that, ladies? John (jargaguy) says I look like George Clooney. :)

So did you use the timer or have a neighbor take the shot?

My timer shots are always off, the anticipation of the shutter makes us laugh an move around too much.
MDJAK

Timer. But I threatened everybody. I told them I got to post this here and they better not mess it up. Or I'd sic Malone on their butts. ;) :lol:

Nice backdrop Mark.

Hahaha, oh man. You look like this guy who was in one of Jet Li's movies. A big lumbering henchmen-type dude. Except in the movie, he didn't smile.. so now I know what it would be like if he actually smiled. Thanks for that Mark. :lol:

Get a wireless remote Mr. Moneybags. You're in the back anyhow, we'd never see it :)

Nice control over a large group of family... :) I did somewhat of a family photo, but I did it of the six women at Thanksgiving, talk about a challenge.

He WAS there, but he was standing sentry up top of the driveway and not allowed to leave post. :lol:

Why, thank ya, ma'am. :)

And thank you too.

In three years on this forum, that's got to be the highest compliment I've ever received. I think. ;)

First, does Canon make one? What should I get? I'm not familiar with all that accessory stuff. Is it an L remote? Does it have red on it anywhere? I need links, pal.

So where's your six women photo? I wanna see it. NOW. ;)

Oh, didn't know that, Alex. Hope things are going well for you. NY is cold and rainy right now. Thanks, bud. Best of luck to you.

Actually, One. They did fool around and turn their backs an I shot that also. I try to shoot as everybody is gathering; candid group shots sometimes can be better than posed ones; never works for me though.
