Had a guest for the weekend

This weekend we had my 5 year old daughter's Godfather to stay. He hadn't seen the children for a little over two years and certainly had a surprise at how much they had grown! Anyway I thought it would be great to get some pictures of him and my daughter together. I love this picture, he looks like he's having fun but poor India doesn't look too impressed :)

The things I make my dad do!!

I decided the other evening that I wanted to try my hand at silhouettes. The kids had well and truly had enough of me sticking my camera in their faces and asking a 5 year old and 3 year old twins to jump off a chair was a recipe for disaster.

So I went over to my parents and told them I had a great idea for a photo :). Being the good sport dad is he was great at jumping off the chair again and again and never moaned when I said things like "this time a little higher dad" or " make shapes with your arms and legs".

The result is below. Not perfect by any means but also not bad for a first go. Next time I'll have to get him jumping with a clearer background, the trees are distracting it's true but it sure was fun.

The first of many

Welcome to my Blog, I hope you will join me on my photographic journey and have fun along the way.

Having never blogged before you might have to put up with some small gliches but hopefully I'll get into the swing of things pretty soon.
