Teaching my 4 year old how to ride a two wheel bike. Set the camera on tripod with remote timer set for 20 shots with AIfocus set and let it go. I shot this with the "Independence" challenge in mind, but didn't enter because I thought the "Independence" part was a little vague.
This is just incredible. I haven't played with my remote timer much. This makes me want to pull it out! The natural framing of the trees works perfectly. Very emotional shot. I think this would have done well if you had entered it in the Independence challenge you mentioned. It would have gotten a 9 or 10 from me :) Of course, I am very partial to children & family photography!
Should have entered. I love this. The golden tones, the stances...I can almost feel that bike wobbling just a bit! Just a wonderful family moment captured.
This is a great pic! I think it would have done really well in the independence challenge....it really catches the mood. Your son will love this when he gets older too :)
I caught this one off the "self potrait" forum. I find this photo very emotive and I like it a lot. It really shows a very strong emotion of father and child. Always like a non-modelled shot, such as this one. great job!
I also think this is a very, very nice image, which would have absolutely received a good score for Independence, but even better, it will be fantastic on your wall at home, with copies given to all your family! I love the way the light is coming from your left with your right hand reaching out to guide your son.
I, for one (ok, maybe more than one), think this is an exceptional capture. You should be very proud of it, and there better be at least an 8x10 on your wall for posterity's sake! :)
This is a wonderfully nostalgic capture. One that I'm sure your family will enjoy looking at way into the future. The light, setting and dof are perfect.
