Love that shot TNB. The sun just cresting the lens hood is fantastic and to see Nikon reflected in the lens. Cool.
I didn't mean to sound like I'm alone out there as it were. I know almost everyone has some form of "hardship" fellas. I'm seriously just glad to have that shot and probably wouldn't have posted the extra info if I wasn't drinking all arvo.
Edit. Thinking this post a bit more carefully now.
Appreciate your sentiments in the spirit in which the'yre intended. Some photos are emotionally gold for us. I guess that's what drives me and presumably many of you to capture these fleeting moments in time.
It's good to have a little backstory and know that other people are complete individuals and not just a collection of photos.

Funny how after getting 2 images that mean something for you, you can feel that an $800 lens has paid for itself. Here's the 2nd image that I love. I feel even with buying this lens now. How crazy is that.
It's my youngest son, severley disabled and so can't smile for the cam. Here's his Christmas day smile when getting his pressies. Pressie donated by a charity.
Hope I've not lost too much internet anonimity with this post.
Edit, the arm from the red t-shit is his 6 yo brother helping him hold and play the toy.
I am realling loving this photo on so many levels!!
A real gem - so nice to have that smile captured
& Yes it does justify getting a good bit of equipment
Superb!!
