MAX’S HOLIDAY PORTRAIT—

Please pardon the indulgence of yet another picture of my pal. This image jumped into my digimatic camera a few days ago while I was munching on a grilled ham and cheese lunch sandwich and Max was giving me his--You are going to save me a bite, aren’t you--look.

I did several quick exposures on manual; 1/40th second at F 5.6, ISO 400 with the focal length zoomed to 53 mm at approximately 8 feet with both the auto focus and image stabilization engaged. The exposure was done with the available light from the deck doors.

As you can plainly see the image is tack sharp—a testament to this stunning digital technology. Naturally, I also pushed the shutter button quite gently.

Let Max and I also use this opportunity to invite you to enjoy the selection of our year’s 10 favorite photos which will be featured Saturday along with a paragraph of technical explanation for each.

We hope you will be able to stop by.
