Kara in the truck

We blew a radiator hose in the truck today about 7 kms from home.

Kara, Aleks and I were going down to the hardware to buy some materials for mouse-trap cars when I suddenly noticed the temperature guage was on hot. I pulled over and shut down, made some phone calls, including one to home to ask for water and a towel, and then we waited for help to arrive.

Of course, while waiting I grabbed the camera and shot Kara several times.

See where this picture was taken.

    Of course :-)
    Nice portrait, by the way. I can see she is relaxed, probably used to you taking her photo. What is she thinking though ? :-)

    It's a good thing you went out prepared. ;-)
    Lovely portrait of Kara. I just wish there was more light on her beautiful eyes.

    She poses a pretty subject for you David, Kara must be proud of her old man.

    Thanks everyone :)

    David, she does get annoyed sometimes - too many photos possibly.

    Margot, just went with the available light, I guess I could have zoomed less, got closer and used a larger aperture, but I'm not sure if it would have made too much difference.

    Kev, who knows what a nearly 12 yo girl thinks ???

    Thanks Louise, she's good practice anyway, I haven't really gone in for portraits until recently.

    Beautiful shot of her David, she looks relaxed in front of the camera that's for sure.

    Hello Kara !

    Thanks Jill, yes I think she's getting used to having a camera pointed at her. (should prove useful if she needs to model her way through Uni).

    Helen, probably a lot sooner than she expects.... (and she's got one photo posted under her own account now too!)

    I rarely don't have a camera with me Maria ;-)
    It generally goes with me just about everywhere.

    Excellent shot! Isn't it funny how situations turn into opportunities such as this.
