Wow..... Finally some action!! This was a long one between waiting for the judging, and then the winner to come forth. The judge needs to be armed and ready for the weekly comp. Two to three days late is not fair to the winner, as we have just experienced.
Thanks John for the extention.

Oh well, I will just lighten up and get back into the spirit of fun and love of photography. I do enjoy the competition. They are my weekly projects.

I remember that we did motion/movement one a few months back....so it will be great to see if I have improved:shockr not!

Cheers!

[Nothing quite so exotic Judithann. We have a birds of prey conservation center near home. The eagle was tethered outside with a black fence in the background. All I had to do was wait for the profile shot to appear.



Oh Barrie....I LOVE that photo. I would hang that on my wall in a heart beat!

No matter if it is chosen for the catchlight comp or not, it is a fantastic shot!

Gee....I must ask Bforbes.

What did you do, go out side and ask the eagle to come into your studio and pose for you....and he was happy to do so???????

How did you get that shot!!!???

Ya Stefan...I agree. A two year old is as apt to throw a reflector as to hold one!

I have taken a lot of photo's of little ones. I find that natural light is perfect. They are soft and pinked skined at two and 5 months. I would use the light FROM the window, allowing it to fall on them. I used my flash as a fill in...make sure that no shadows are under the eyes. I would give the reflector to another adult...I do find that the reflective light give a child a glow, a soft touch. I would try lots of different angles to. A two year old does like moving about...he/she could find it fun to get up and down. The five month old will be interested in the faces of the people around. All you need to do for the five month old, is have a face he/she loves and is familar with. The two year old will like others being fun and silly. Make sure that both babies are rested, feed and dry, it goes a long ways for contented subjects.

If they become fussy...take a break. You can have a go at it later again.
I would love to see the end results...wish I was there to help...I LOVE children.

Congratulation to You Scott-Isaac!!! It was a wonderful picture. Congrats to all others. Nice Judging Stefan, as always it was fun.

It is morning here in Canada and I have awaken to see a second place....Thanks Stefan! I am not able to carry the EXIF on my photo once I upload them to my online album. If I work with them in my Picasa photo shop....it then creates a creations date. I usually take my photo for both the weekly and bi weekly competition as my assignments. It is how I learn to improve my skills. I love the CHALLANGE of finding, shooting and posting. I do not know how to keep the EXIF on the photo, as in the weekly it is already there, as I simply tranfere it from my desk top....

My feeling on the matter is, for the Bi-weekly, that there is no money or grand prize being embezzed. It is extra time and work enter. It is more time and work if you win. I think that most of us know each other, enjoy each other, and love our photography. I would hate not being allowed to enter because my program can not carry the copied and pasted EXIF. I really enjoy my program.

I am sure you will all hear from Elscotto soon, it is very early in western Canada, right now. I know he will be thrilled. He is a very young photographer, who is balancing his hobby, with his education.
