Family Park Play

Ooooh there's a chill out there but still a great time for photos as the light is soft especially late afternoon.  Had a gorgeous family shoot down at the park.  What the kids didn't know was that the trucks they were standing and playing on were originally there's.  Mum had donated them to the sandpit at the park.  They had a great time!!

Project 52 "Bold Light"

Trying to get Toby to stand still for this shot of gorgeous wall light coming through the nearby closed curtain - not very enthused!!!

This is a very impromptu photo of Toby, split second timing before he jumped off the beanbag saying "Nooooooo"!!!   This is what happens when you try to photograph your own family!!!

Project 52 "New Best Friends"

Well Winter is certainly here, showers for most of the day today but the sun managed to just poke through the clouds this arvo so we decided to go to the park with some friends.  Our dog Tilly just loves children and they fall in love with her as well.

Project 52 "Freelensing"

Freelensing is a relatively inexpensive way of getting the similarly unique effect of an expensive tilt-shift lens, where the focus plane is thrown out of whack with the added bonus of natural light leaks.  I'm just starting my "Freelensing" journey and it's quite hard to do but I love the effect.  If you would like to know more about how to achieve this effect, just ask!

Project 52 "Autumn Leaves"

I love this time of the year, the chill in the air, the colour of the Autumn leaves falling from the trees!  Toby's friend's family has the most beautiful Japanese Maple growing in their front yard.  Just have a look at the colour, magnifico!!

Project 52 "Action"

Well Toby had his first official soccer match last week. The poor thing, in the first half not only did he get hit by a ball in the face which gave him a blood nose, he got winded by a ball in the stomach, twisted his ankle and hurt his wrist on the way down! Here I was thinking that this football wouldn't be as aggressive as Aussie Rules! By the 2nd half he felt better to play and managed to score the first goal for the season! Thoughts of giving up, GONE and one very proud Mum!

Project 52 - Motion

Boys and their obsessions...in this case it's soccer, dirty feet, bruised knees and all!
