If at first you don't succeed, go back: Photo of the Day

I am a curmudgeon. I don't know as I personally like this personality trait, but I have lived with it for so long that I now just accept it. It takes me awhile to warm up to ideas outside of my own. So I am a selfish curmudgeon. I do finally after complaining either in my head or outside of my own head. With my children I try to make it on the inside.

I did not want to go to the Rainforest Cafe, but I had said if she gets all of her spelling words right that she can pick the place to have dinner. What I didn't realize was that I would have such fun with Photography with all of the various lights and animals that this restaurant has all around the seating area.

For this outing I had chosens just a Nikon 50mm lens and the D700. I wished that I had packed my own light, but I was reduced to using the pop-up flash located on the D700. The array of lights all around the resteraunt lent itself for the exploration of my creative pictures. This picture would have been perfect with just a touch more flash on my subject. If I can just prompt her to get all her spelling words correct again, we might have that shot.
