Spring portraits

It's the colors I wanted to catch, and and the train sweater—I already know there's no catching the years, no way to stop time. The smiles, the action, the heart of the boy, were all extras I was lucky enough to catch. I'm still finding my way around the new camera, which comes with so many more options than the old one that sometimes I miss the shot while I'm figuring out what to do next, but this is user error and the camera can't be blamed. The longer lens has a slower, touchier auto focus that is leaving me a bit frustrated, and the pictures also show darker posted here than they do in my editing program or iPhoto. These things may or may not be user error—that's on my list of things to find out.
