Afternoon with Luke

Luke came over for a visit on Sunday afternoon.  It was such a pleasant day that we wanted to spend time outside.  

                    

The blanket was supposed to be for sitting but soon became a play toy.

                                            Had fun shooting a few shots of Luke and Pop.  

Luke can be an easy subject, however, Gil can be a little tougher although he is very photogenic.  If your subjects know you are going to be shooting for a while, often they will relax and almost forget you are around.  You can also suggest different angles and perspectives - something fresh.  Don't be afraid to try something completely different.  You never know what might turn up.

Luke is a curious and observant young boy.

My favorite shot.

It took 85 pictures and some time to sort but I was happy with the results.  It takes time and effort to make good pictures.  My plan is to create a small book each year with the best of the best shots and save those for his Mom and Dad.  It is simple and not terribly expensive to make small books online.  Check out Apple (Mac lovers), Shutterfly, Kodak and Costco.
