 .. I know... they are very difficult to shoot at close range. In fact, I find the flash is too harsh for both pict.  But since chances like this don't come very often, I decided to post it anyway. Only can blame my skill  Thanks for the comments. Appreciate itLast edited by melvynyeo; 20th June 2005 at 11:56 AM. |
