photography and toddlers

So anyone who knows me know I'm really digging photography right now. In fact, I'm taking my second level photography class now! But I have to admit, I'm mediocre at best. I'm practicing, but here's where I get stuck, I'll take tons of pictures in RAW files, but I take forever to process them. Sure I could take them in jpg and edit/upload them a lot faster but I love shooting in RAW and my DSLR is so old it doesn't have a jpg/raw mode. The photo above was taken June 19th, and the only reason I posted it was because my girlfriend Anouck was persistent in asking for the photos from Fairyland. My other gripe about photography is getting a tack sharp image of a toddler, it's like trying to photograph the Locke Ness Monster. They move so quick and avoid eye contact with the camera a good chunk of the photos I take end up being garbage. The photo above is a rare moment for me and while this has definitely been edited I love the end result.
