Re-take of the feet image

On the course last week part of the assignment was to take a photo of feet.
Well my daughter wanted an image of the children with their feet popping out from the end of the bed. I'm sure you've seen images like these as there's a lot of similar compositions all over the web.
When I posted the one I originally took ( see the post before this) I had a few comments on the forum that it was bordering on the morbid ! When I was setting it up in never actually occurred to me what it ended up looking like to be honest. Once someone mentioned it I really found it in some strange way quite funny.Anyhow I decided it wasn't a very good idea after all and re-took them, without the labels this week.
Sian, my daughter has had it blown up and printed to a size of 20x30 to give to her hubby on his birthday tomorrow from the children. I added the text to the original in Photoshop Elements. Took me quite a while to do this as I had no idea what I was doing but it all turned out well in the end.
I think the re-take is a whole lot better than the original with tags on !!
If you click on the image it will give you a clearer view.

Must keep up to date !

I really must get to grips with this photography blog as well as my craft blog but where can I buy more time? LOL

My eldest grand-daughter was a bridesmaid recently for her Godmother who also happens to be her mother's( my youngest daughter) best friend. I gave my daughter a rough idea of what kind of photos I wanted her to take so that I could scrap a few of them. Not many turned up with the spec I gave her but hey ho I have to get on with what I've got !
My grandaughter & the little pageboy ( who was the bride's Godson)were the only children at the wedding. His mum took the last image, which I just love for some reason, they look so sweet bless them walking away into the distance. They were walking back to the car to be taken home while their parents were staying for the evening celebrations.
The rest of the images are some that my daughter took with her little point & shoot.I converted the first image to black & white in photoshop......you'll get the message quite quickly that I love black & white images.

At Last !

Well as you can see it's been some while since I set this blog up with every intention of posting my photography. Things didn't go according to plan, not from the photography angle I might add but from the time aspect. Life just seem to get in the way sometimes.

Here are a few images that I took last week. My eldest daughter wanted photographs of the boys to print on a canvas for their Daddy's 40th birthday which is on Wednesday. So last Tuesday I set everything up in the conservatory ( there's good natural light in there)and they arrived ! From the moment Charlie ( 2 years old) arrived it was pretty obvious that he had no intention of having his photo taken!!

After much bribing, trickery and everything else we tried, I did manage to get a few decent shots, about 5 from a total of 149 images !!!! and Sian also managed to get her two canvases printed and they look fab.

I've converted some of them to Black & White. I have a weakness for black & white photographs !
