Canon G7 X Mk II – 1/1000, f/1.8, ISO 640, Eval Meter

We returned today from our 2 week Hawaii vacation. Mason had been staying with Becky and Ted (and Bailey and Willow) for the past 2 weeks. When Roxie got out of the car to greet Mason, he was not sure what was going on (or who were these people). After a few sniffs and hearing Roxie’s voice, I captured the instant he recognized her.

From a technical standpoint, it’s not a great photo – in fact, I had the camera on Auto (gasp) because I knew things would happen fast and I didn’t want to risk losing a shot while messing with settings. In fact, you can probably look back at most of the Pulitzer Photos and say they were nothing close to being technically perfect. But, they were perfect in the eyes of others…
