This last shot was taken on new years eve last year. I had set up to snap shots of the birds and the sunset. It was almost dark when this little girl came running through the frame. I was able to snap off a few shots.

This was taken with a pretty long lens and there was a good bit of distance between she and I, not to mention the water. For ten minutes I chased the little girl and her father down the beach. When I was finally able to get close enough to approach them the guy seemed scared to death seeing this nut running behind him calling to him. I kept wanting him to look into the camera at the image that I had taken, and for him to allow me to send it to him by e-mail. I have a weakness for guys out alone with there daughters. He finally looked at it but said he didn't have an e-mail. I gave him my card and asked him to e-mail me when he got the chance and I would send it to him no charge.

Days later I heard from him and I was able to send him the image. After that I started getting e-mails from grandmothers, sisters, aunts all wanting a copy of the image.

This is original image before I was able to bring it back. I could not have done this with a lesser camera - Nikon d70.
