Time to hang up the camera and take up topless modelling!

Emily ( my daughter ), was presented with an award at school last night. There was I, aisle seat so I had a clear view. All lined up, test shots taken for exposure: I was ready!

Then, the professor giving the awards moved slightly to her right. No big deal, I could still shoot through a gap and get waist up. Phew!
Emily strolls ups up, shakes hands with the Prof and just as I release the shutter, the previous winner walks straight in front of me. Just a pic of a blurred school blazer! DOH!

So, not the end of the world. I accost the headmistress at the end of proceedings and ask can I shoot her presenting the certificate to Emily. No problem she says. But, as everyone is leaving, the area full of people, and Mrs Ted is losing patience at this point. Did my best to quickly get a shot, but managed to have someone walk across the background and cut off the bottom of the certificate! Double DOH!!!

Getting there! Thanks to you guys
