Thanksgiving & Mall of America

My sweet son. This was at the restaurant where we had our Thanksgiving dinner, and I pushed the envelope by using an ISO 3200, no flash, hand-held (f/2.8, 1/15, 28mm with 28-75mm Tamron). The Nikon 300s is such a fantastic camera!

And like folks in the movie "Night of the Living Dead", we were drawn to that place that "people know and love," the Mall of America, for Black Friday. And we did pick up a couple of bargains.

Tomorrow, I'm going to show you the recipe and baked/constructed for the Cookie Train! Think candy canes and chocolate. . . .

And soon, I'll also be showing you a few shots from a restaurant in Mall of America. Think mall cops, reality shows, and Angela getting chastised because of her camera. . .

Mmmmm, what have you been up to now? Or, what has poor Doug been enticed into - for the sake of photographic creativity!

This is a nice picture of Brian. He will probably hate this, but I think he looks so sweet. I can also see some resemblance to Scott, maybe around the eyes . . . What a handsome guy!

I've never been to Mall of America and I'm exhausted just from looking at the picture . . .

Your guys don't look too thrilled to be out at the Mall of America during the busiest time of the year. (not sure I would be either) LOL But the photos are great!

You are such a tease! I look forward to your next post!

(and thank you for your kind comments on my blog...it means a lot to me. *Ü*)

Wow, not sure if I would attempt MOA on Black Friday. Heck, I'm scared to leave the house it's so crazy out there!
Yep, love that high ISO performance - great shots.

Holy smokes! That camera rocks!

Your boys don't look too happy at the mall. I would look that sad at a football game. ;)
