This is why you should always hire a professional.

My mother asked me to take some shots at the luncheon after my grandmother's funeral, mostly just to document who was there.

After I worked the room a bit, I sat down with Becky to have a bite to eat. An elderly friend came by and offered to get a shot of the two of us. So I handed him my 300D and showed him which button to push.

It was set to center point autofocus ... and it worked perfectly!

Brilliant framing,

...if I had a nickel for every shot I took that came out just like this one, I'd be a proud owner of a 1DS MKII.

Condolences for the loss of your grandmother....

Looks OK to me, I think he's captured the baby high chair in a way not seen before.

LOL this makes my day.

I have to say, it is a great composition. Having everything in one shot...lovely.

Can you give me the name of the photographer?

P.S.

My condolences...

I know someone that does this on purpose to tourists. I doubt it's the same guy.

Sorry to hear about your loss, my grandmother passed away at the begining of the year.

Best shot I have seen all Week! You look fantastic curtis!

On a funny side note, we were at a friends for dinner and a buddy's wife said, hey let me see your camera. I said sure. She said ohhh, is it digital? Oh yes mam. She picks it up and starts doing the PS routine- looking to see her content on the LCD. errr.. No, no you have to look thru the view finder, Its a SLR. Ok, "Single lens reflex" she says and goes back to looking at the LCD. It's not on she says. At this point, I tell her the batteries must be dead. You are luck with your photographer, at least they squeezed off a picture.

A little USM might do that pic some good!

Now that picture is worthy of a good chuckle...... What a crack-up Curtis!

Condolences for grandmother...... I hope she had a smooth passage.

Nice shot of the baby chair... The only disturbing thing in the picture are the 2 OOF people

...


Sorry about you loss...

That must be a real bummer for them, especially if they one holiday and using film.

He lives in a tourist area and get's angry with them invading his town. I agree it's mean, but it could be worse... he could be a mugger.

LOL..well now we know why Sports Illustrated and NG aren't calling you. They've hired YOUR photographer. Didn't you know high chairs are the latest and greatest thing in high fashion photography?

Sorry about your grandmother's passing.

ah yes...i have seen this before. forgot to set it to auto for my dad.
