Sunday Snapshot

8.12.2012


With some encouragement from my friends I'm sharing this photo again!  It's my little guy on the swings at the fair (back right).  As I mentioned, he hated the swings once the ride started moving and was so scared he gave mommy a heart attack.  I was so relieved when this ride ended!  Somehow we got a picture though.  We went back to the fair yesterday and when we parked he said "I do NOT want to ride the swings, okay?"    Bless his heart, it traumatized both of us!

Someone left a comment asking about my camera (thanks, love comments!).  It's a Nikon D5000 and I have 3 lenses; 18-55mm, 50mm 1.4 (my favorite), and a 50-200mm.  The details on this photo: f-3.5, ISO 800, 18mm, shutter 1/1000, edited in Lightroom.  Happy Sunday y'all:)

  5. Beautiful photo and a wonderful edit. I used to dread when the fair came to town when my daughter was little.....I hated those rides but I never wanted to say 'no' so I stood by in fear as I taught her to be fearless. Good job mom.
