One of those Moments

I was sitting at the computer this afternoon messing around on the internet and I hear Skip yell for me to "Hurry up and bring the camera". I grab my trusty Nikon D90 and run as fast I could to the back door. Dallas was standing there in her school clothes all covered in sidewalk chalk. Wait a minute, she wasn't like like when I picked her up from school 30 minutes earlier!!! Of course I had to remind myself that they are only little once and this is, after all, one of those moments I just have to photograph!!! I'm in the last week of my photography class so I have learned a few things about taking the camera out of Auto. I start going through my mental checklist of what I would need to do in order to take a great shot of this moment in manual mode. I set the ISO too high and I wish I hadn't set the aperture for this much blur. I did a little color correcting in Photoshop, added my watermark, and here is the finished product. While I was getting the camera set to take the pictures, Skip was telling Dallas where to stand and to smile(which she didn't). He was even telling me where to stand to get the best shot. I think I've got him trained!!!
