AWESOME... i bet she is on cloud 9 about now..
Thanks for the pics socalphotographer! I have to tell the board how we met:
I went down to watch some of the night show and to see if I could snap some shots of Ojs. When I got to the auditorium I took a seat in the very last row next to a couple of other figure competitors. They left after a while but there was this guy standing behind us with this camera with a huge lens. I made a comment about the class Ojs was in and we got to talking. Eventually I said something about being from Montana and SCP said,
"Wait...Montana...Figure...USA's...are you Meredith?"
"Yes!?!"
LOL! I'm Socalphotographer!
"OH MY GOSH!"
We both cracked up laughing! I mean what are the odds? SCP is so nice and a wonderful person to just sit and visit with! Lol! He's the only one who didn't leave when I struck up a conversation with him! Yeah, I think I ran off the other two figure girls I was trying to chit-chat with. Uh...no, I did run them off! Anyways, I'm glad we met and I have to say his photography skill are so good! He was taking his pictures from the BACK of the auditorium!
That was pretty hilarious! I couldn't believe that of all the people in the ballroom I run into Lynx! I think I might have run those girls off, though - I think they got sick my camera and lens hanging over their heads and hearing my camera shutter snapping away...
I didn't realize that was Tony at your table! If I had known I would have introduced myself! And maybe stayed for some ice cream sundaes.
Sorry to hear that you got sick. Hopefully all you need is some rest to let your body recuperate...
After I posted my pics from the 2010 Jr. Nationals, knowing that my "photo skills" are a work in progress, SoCal sent me an email with some of his pics and the different settings he used. He also gave a brief description of he took them (setting, etc) to get a better idea of how to adjust my camera and lens... his explanation was THOROUGH... and I still keep forgetting to email him and express my great appreciation... I am such a dork... Thanks SoCal, you were a BIG help sir! I decided to share this publicly for my penance
