Mother and Son Shopping for Block and Tackle

@KMF: Thank you and thanks for stopping by. You've got some interesting photos posted. One of the best things about Animus is looking at photos people are taking in different places in the world.

@Amir: Thank you. This isn't the kind of shot you get to redo when you screw up. This one had blown out highlights that were "fixed" --if you want to call it that-- in processing. I usually don't like the way Photomatix grays down blown highlights, but here it isn't too bad because the highlights were on the metal bars in the foreground and in the tent in the background, and the gray tones work better than pure white. I always shoot with the histogram showing so I knew I'd blown it, but when you're taking photos of people like this you don't get another chance.
