Originally posted by sandpiper6 This shot was grabbed micro-moments after seeing her first-born son for the first time. This is what helped me fall in love with birth photography! The title is about the mom's love at first sight though.
Some people who see this tell me that I should enter it in a contest. While the moment is right, I do not think the technical proficiency is there. Pentax *ist-D with manual lens, no flash. This might have been the 50mm, 1.4 manual lens. I'll have to check the original.

This is the version I sent for print. I previously posted an over-edited version. I like this better.
The specs: Manual lens does not give exif info on mm and aperture. The other info is ISO 400, 1/250 in Aperture Priority. I'm pretty sure it was the 50mm lens, probably set to 2.8 manually.
congratulations!
you captured a moment that you will never forget. brings back memories of when my kids where born.
lets see some of the new born shots!
again congraulations to you, your other half and your family
