I always have the DP2 Merrill with me during family dinners, to capture precious moments such as this one of a mother and her daughter.

Thank you, Jock. I don't often take great photos, but this one is a favorite.

A tip for Foveon RAW shooters: If the subject is better lit than the background/foreground elements, using a negative value on SPP Fill Light exaggerates the lighting on the subject and darkens the other elements for a stronger photo. It's great for portraits because it also softens the image. The trick is to be subtle with the effect. I typically set the limit at -0.3, but some images call for a greater negative value.
