Show no fear shoot it as you see it, simply because that is the motivating factor!! Obviously the wonderful scene itself is super magic!! Lighting is magical! And don't anyone give me some stupid comment about using flash and completely destroying this beautiful image as we see here. If you can see it...... "YOU CAN SHOOT IT!" And don't start giving me some whining excuse about holding the camera steady with a slow shutter speed! This situation isn't going anywhere, so keep your mouth shut, concentrate and shoot a bunch! And if you have to ASA rate at 800? Do it and get over it! Set it and capture the moment! As that's far more important than what might? Be a tiny touch of grain! OOPS! noise. But heck the image is so magical and powerful what's a tiny smidgin of noise "IF IT SHOULD OCCUR?" Besides pretty well everyone of you are using idiot proof exposure camera's these days. Just look through the viewfinder, show no fear, CLICK! See how easy that is? A scene like this requires nothing more than the photographer first of all having the observation abilities to appreciate what he or she is looking at. Make sure camera is turned on, held steady and quietly go "CLICK!" :-) There now see how easy that was. But one small item. You may have to get Sonny's beautiful wife ( as grand mother in this case) to be your models!:-) Hey Sonny charge a big model fee! :-) By the way Kathy you look beautiful along with young Everett James! :-) cheers, ted
