What a great picture. I love how the people are in focus but the horses aren’t.
I would probably have given up after 11 rounds and then been pissed. But you? You stick to it and get the shot. Love it!

Well, what else was I going to do waiting on the sidelines? :)
Wow that is an AWESOME photo!

Wow! Super cool shot! Well worth the trouble. And I can see some resemblance between Lily and your mom.

That is a FANTASTIC photo!!! wow
What a fun shot and a fun memory. Now, how did you get Lily and your mom clear when the carousel animals are blurry? I think I may need to take my kids there sometime. It’s been years.

I have NO IDEA what I did! I am a photography dummy and was just playing with the settings. It was a total fluke!
I get a little thrill when I look back at my shots and realize that I actually captured the perfect one.

That is a great shot! I had a similar experience with my family on go carts – it took me a bunch of times of them going around until I got some good shots.
I love carousels! Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day. :)
That is really an amazing photo – frame-worthy for sure. And I love your new profile picture – you look gorgeous darling!

What a great shot; one in a million!
By the way, I love the name of your blog. I can so relate. When I’ve had an especially trying morning with the kids, I tell my coworkers that “Pyscho-Mommy came out to play this morning”.

That is a fantastic, WONDERFUL, super duper shot. And I wouldn’t expect anything less out of you : ). I know you are tricking us when you say you aren’t good at picture taking because I have seen some phenominal photography over here. I think I need to come to your house for lessons :)
.-= Life with Kaishon´s last blog ..Pedicure with the girls (whoops. I mean BOYS) =-.
that is a great pic!
Fantastic shot! I don’t think I could have handled watching the merry-go-round 12 times. I would have become dizzy and my shot would have been of the sky as I lay on the ground recovering.

Fabulous capture! They both look like they are having the time of their lives.
