Run to Mommy!

The serendipity of this image was just too good to be true.  I was taking one-year-old birthday pictures in this little guy's bedroom.  He had taken a step or two, and was very good at walking with push toys -- but he hadn't actually walked on his own yet.  When I heard his mother's "Oh my goodness, look at you walking all the way across the room all by yourself!"  I just started shooting. Because I had been doing tight shots only moments before, this zoom was inevitable.  I feel so honored to have been in the room for these first real steps, and love the motion in this shot.  Look out world, here he comes!
SmugMug > popular today > Tuesday 14 May 2008 - Ducks in the Hilliards Creek at Ormiston
SmugMug > popular today > 14.5.08 - I hope there is a happy ending to this shot, but the last time I saw this family of ducks there were 5 babies. Dad was around then too, but was nowhere to be seen today, so maybe he has the other 4 tucked away somewhere, fingers crossed. The hot sun of recent days has been replaced by a cold dark grey day, only 14 degrees C according to my car :) 

It was also quite breezy by the lake, and this was a devil to photograph. Low flat light, impossible to get any depth of field, and the birds were very skittish. I took lots of photos in my snatched lunchbreak, but most were binned. Even the ones I've kept needed a lot of manipulation in shadows/highlights, but at least the low light has made the colours nice and rich. There are a few more here   http://johnloguk.smugmug.com/gallery/4211893_mbfEa#295144563_sKsDY  

I had hoped to be on my way to the Lake District to meet up with Kerry and co by now, but it isn't going to happen I'm afraid, too much to do and too little time, story of my life at the moment :(
