First off let me state that I am a full time stay at home dad and that this is not how I go about changing Rowan. I do know what I am doing and life is not as chaotic as this picture might show. Close at times maybe - but never this bad. ;)
I wanted to do this image way back for the movie themed challenge but entered the other challenge instead I think. This was taken at a local McDonalds that had a family bathroom. The blower shoots straight rather than up like the movie poster but it still works IMO.
Rowan wasnt digging this shoot but Aidan was having fun. Aimee thought that the cops might be outside the door when we came out. Who goes into a bathroom with two kids, a big bag and a tripod?
The only light was from the lights in the bathroom so shutter speed wasnt as fast as I would have liked. I probably should have used a lower aperture to help that out.
PP - nothing fancy - RAW conversion with the usual, high pass sharpen, NI, USM, various saturation and selective color adjustments, resize for web and border.

Hilarious again! Your creativity is something to behold. I'm glad you struck a blow for competent dads everywhere by noting that you do know what you're doing. We have to stick together! :)
Top shot here mate, and love the set up, and only wish I was a fly on the wall, thats for sure....You are a great Dad, one of the best, so be proud of who you are and what you do.....
SandyP is dead-on as usual. You are the very best in your field. I am so thankful for you and the husband and Daddy that you are. You are a special gift from God. Congratulations on a great finish. I will never forget being there for this shoot - I think my heart is still racing a little!
What a Blessing! You are a great encouragement! You are the "backbone" of humanity! :) It takes a very secure man to do your "duty" with a smile on your face. :} I should know because I am one, too. :)
L()L this is great. Tobad you couldn't time a nice little stream to come down as well L()L. I think also if the girl was held just a touch farther away from the body it would have been nice as well. However, it looks like she is screaming bloody murder at the same time. Great expression.
