Post subject: | Could not pass on this one... |
Came across a fantastic deal on a piece identical to the one I bought for my daughter almost five years ago and snagged it for wife's girlfriend who desperately wanted me to find one for her if possible. I had to make a decision to buy before checking with wifey's GF who now nas changed her mind due to finances. (Although she could NEVER duplicate the bargain I got for her on this one!) I was going to sell it (probably will do that anyway) but now wifey wants to wear it for awhile, something I didn't anticipate. In any case, our five year old granddaughter is visiting us this weekend and shot this pic of the watch ("B-Class"). I'm not kidding. She is 5 years and 11 months old and all I did to help her was advise. She did the composition, shaded the subject with the diffusing cloth (an old diaper) and tripped the timed shutter. I downloaded the images to the computer for her but she used Picasa3 and Irfanview to size and edit the pic. I sat next to her and told her which controls (sliders for color, shading etc.) to move and she adjusted them to her liking. She named and saved the pic and of course had to print a copy to take home to her mom. In anticipation of those who will doubt she made this shot, I will tell you it is not her first. She did one of one of my Navitimers on spelling blocks and one of her Grammy's Cockpit Lady with Carolina Jasmine flowers. I really get a kick out of sharing this hobby with one of the love's of my life... ![]() Cheers, Ron ![]() |

Clearly genetic Ron - it's a great shot and a great watch. Your well justified pride in your granddaughter shines through! |
