Suns Out, Play Time

[Dan Cattermole]

We've had some lovely weather this weekend...... Spend a great deal of time taking the kids out and about to give Mum at home some rest on Mothers Day.

Took the Fuji (of course) with me to see how this would do with very mobile and fast moving little ones. And it goes without saying, the AF in this thing is incredible! I'm really blown away!!
I've been shooting wide open on most of the shots to give it the isolated 'Instagram summer' feel to them.
I have converted all of these to JPEG on the camera as they are. Some B&W.

RUUUUUUN to the PAAAAARK!!!!!!

F/16 to give a longer shutter speed for motion blurred effect on the roundabout.

Cannot but love every single one of them Dan. Adorable little girls. 2169 might be my favourite now but that could change tomorrow.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Yes, the slide shot is my favourite of the bunch at the moment......
The framing is as it is, no cropping or straightening either.... very happy with the results

Thanks Tom

Seriously stunning AF, Dan. And seriously gorgeous wee lassies!

Fantastically lovely shots!

A wonderful set of pictures of yours at play. Nothing beats seeing children have fun. It's also nice to be told that the TX1 works as I expect it to, from a trustworthy sourse. It'll most probably become a one for me too I guess as I'll depart from one of my X-E1 for the purpose. Thanks for sharing. It makes me glad when I see such enthusiasm and joy.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Thank you for your kind words Ivar...
As a farther to these beautiful children, it makes me glad to see them full of joy.

Superb set Dan, the one going down the slide arm reaching out is special .

Great set Dan. The looking up from the slide and the first roundabout shot are especially good I think.
