I have finally got my husband to pick up the M8 and start using it!
Not bad at all for a first timer I thought...taken wide open too...

Score!
Now he can take beautiful portraits of you!
Careful...he may not give it back.

hahaha Amado...that's right. I'm positioning him to take my M8 once a very much speculated "M9" finds itself in my lap...hmm let's hope he doesn't try to hog my camera before that becomes available then!

Lovely image; lovely subject! And sharing can be such a wonderful thing . . . ;-)

Liz -

with the possible exception of haivng to share the camera, excellent move. He is blessed with a lovely, accessible subject, and he seems to have a good eye. In the coming weeks I encourage you to get him into some post processing. In the attached I did a minor adjsutment to exposure, a small crop, and a bit of sharpening.

LLT, I guess he's the new "kid" for cameras. I'm sure you deserve the credit for coaching. Lovely portrait & radiant smile. Ah, youth!

Many thanks for your kind comments everyone.

Stuart, thanks for your suggestion... another learning in it for me (I did the post processing on this one and admittedly didn't do very much)... Oh I will get him into post processing.. don't you worry...
