I had to blog this capture, being the proud Dad that I am, I laugh every time I view it. My boys wanted to give their Mom a picture of themselves for a Mothers' Day present. Although my youngest doesn't help out during my shoots, he always reviews my pictures and tells me if the poses look natural, cool or downright stupid (Note: I won't use the term he really uses since it's inappropriate). I decided we'd shoot during the golden hour and we would use our backyard as the backdrop. While I was getting ready, he'd yell to me "I'm Ready" and then he'd quickly strike a pose reserved for my female models, but before I could shoot he'd move. Thank goodness for Auto-focus and a full-frame sensor. I turned on Auto-focus and pointed the camera at him at waist level and then began to walk around. This capture was definitely shooting from the hip. He yelled "Hey Dad!!!" BANG, I pressed the shutter all the way down and "Presto." Drew playing with his hair, which is one of my favorite poses for my female models.
After I reviewed the picture, I cropped it and asked his permission to post. He agreed, and here it is. To all you Mothers, have a Happy and Safe Mothers' Day.
That's a Wrap!!!
