The sweetest feeling
Posted under Camera Club, Photography
… is a Megaboy on your back, giggling and tickling you and then – at the end of a long day on the beach – snuggling in close to you resting his curly locked head in the nape of your neck. Sweet boy of mine xx
Look how he’s grown, here he is two years ago in the same sling, tiny and bald!
Please excuse the poor photograph, this was taken in the ‘old’ days…plus MrSpud took it and he could use a little help with photography. On which note, don’t forget my photography surgery for beginners is open for business! Please post your questions quickity quick as I hope to post up the answers plus assorted tips & hints in the next day or so. I’ve roped in the wife to assist with the technical stuff, hoorah.
Please don’t be shy to ask ‘dumb’ questions, I assure you that no question is too dumb and don’t feel you’re excluded if you use a point & shoot rather than a ‘big’ camera. Also, if you have a Canon not a Nikon…well, I guess that’s OK too but if you wouldn’t mind not breathing too much when you’re reading the post that would be helpful as I wouldn’t want you to spread it around too much OK? Thanks for that…..;-)
Let’s see how the ‘surgery’ goes, I might make it a regular feature…or expand it and call it Camera Club and get guest bloggers to take a turn; share a shot, how they set it up etc…different cameras that they use and like…’gone wrong’ shots and how to avoid them…shooting flowers/children/Canon owners/landscapes/weddings etc etc. Just some ideas, what do you think? I know ‘serious’ photography bloggers do this, but that doesn’t mean us mere mortals can’t do it in a less intimidating environment. I will ponder.
Hey.. What’s with all the “Canon owners” slurs… We have feelings too yanno.. lol.. And there was me thinking of offering assistance too.. lol.. Guess I’ll have to get a “real” camera eh ?!?!.. Grrrrr… :p
Ha ha, soothes Brian’s brow….right, well you can go first for guest blogger for Camera Club then. Just to demo that EVE Canons can turn out some pretty good snaps, every now and then. Evil laugh…
I love the photograph of you and your beautiful boy — and that great hippy chick sling. (Although it makes me slightly guilty, too; we should be out in the sunshine instead of sitting at our computers listening to moody Arvo Part music.)
Just think: this time last week we were at Stonehenge!
Thank you for the lovely card. xx
Oh, yes! Looking forward to any and all camera tips.
Gee thanks for that.. “Good snaps!!”… Double Grrrr… ;p
Note to self… “One day – Learn to keep stooopid big mouth shut”… lol..
have you ever imagined he would become as curly as the lady on his sling???!!!! so you had great sunshine over there… ours only turned out nice Sunday afternoon, Lance Armstrong even quit cycling in that lousy wheather (they started their tour in our local town Bantry this morning and my husband took our Nikon and he came back without any nice picture – not because of the rain but —– he forgot both batteries) so lesson number one for your surgery: never ever leave the house without batteries! so now we don’t have photographs of Lance Armastrong but a new kitten baptized Lance which he found on his way back.
I suppose those of us who don’t have the beloved nikon or the evil cannon are really in trouble. What about Lumix owners??? Will we be laughed off planet Spud, or gasp, even planet Earth? All tongue in cheek comments aside — seriously, your idea is great, and I’m sure I’m going to learn valuable things because the serious sites do intimidate me!
Helloo! You blessed woman you…two beautiful megaboys to be tickled by. I’m so glad you are enjoying this part of motherhood…it is an intense time. Brief and intense, very intimate, that’s what I remember. Dropped darling daughter off at college yesterday. She’s in heaven, so happy and inspired. Right where she needs to be. It is her second year away and I’m just now starting to feel like I’m not missing an important limb. Glad you are photographing this journey of yours, it’s going to go faster and fasterandfaster……….I’m looking forward to your photo tutorial…I will glean what I can to use with my poor 1.3 megapixel cam and plan for my future 5 megapix cam.
I am missing my “little girls” right now and keep remembering them at that wonderful sweet age. Enjoy it…
wait…. OMG. Do I have a gravatar?
HELL YES I HAVE A STINKING GRAVATAR!!! WOOT WOOT!! TAKE *THAT* SUCKAS!!
BUT WAIT… this isn’t the photo I made my gravatar. Damn it.
Do I have a gravatar???? I better…. do I do I???
Duhhhh I just logged into my Google acct and yes I have one but like Bambs its not the one I created on the Gravatar debacle.
Anyway… nice post, lovely pic, and I have tons of questions but I need you and the wife to fly over here and actually show me stuff I am very hands on and never read instructions!!!!
My baby grew. He grew and he grew and he grew. He grew until he was two years old, and he ran all around the house. He pulled all the books off the shelves. He pulled all the food out of the refrigerator and he took his mother’s watch and flushed it down the toilet. Sometimes I would say, “this kid is driving me CRAZY!”. Anyway, i had fun watching him grow c:
