explorer

With a stick in one hand, and the use of her fingers on the other .. Alissa gets busy digging in the moss, not looking for anything imparticular .. just exploring.

My most favourite photos are ones taken without the subject aware of the camera and that it's pointed at them. The moment my girls see my camera's eye focused on them, they pull a face, turn their head, hide or the like. When I capture them in their element, enjoying life .. THAT is when I can later look at the photo and FEEL the moment.

I agree! Unfortunately, I haven't been able to sneek up close enough to snap pics without being spotted, and our zoom doesn't zoom very far. Neat photo!

I'm fortunate to have a camera with 12x optical zoom and 48x digital zoom .. so I can get up close and personal, yet be yards away.

Very cool pic. I also like when they don't know you're taking a picture of them. It leaves the picture with that natural feeling that no pose could ever give, and it feels more truthful when you look at it.
