SUBJECT: MonkeyBoy
Here is MonkeyBoy doing a handstand. He was doing handstands, flips and cartwheels in the yard and wanted me to take a picture of him. I must have taken over 200 shots to try and capture this boy. I'm still not very happy with this shot. All I can say is thank goodness for digital cameras and Photoshop!
I think I now understand how Monkeyboy got his name. Adorable photo, talented son!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's BEYOND perfect!
ReplyDeleteI like it.
ReplyDeletewow he is so talented!!
ReplyDeleteYou are right to say thank goodness for digital cameras.. I´ll never miss them
I have two wild boys, anytime in action...to shot photos of them is much better and cheaper with a digital cam.
Great photo!!
ReplyDeleteDot O - Yes indeed, this is my child who crawled at 4 months, stood at 6 months and was running at 9 months.
ReplyDeleteSecret Agent Mama - I hoped that at least one of the 200 would work!
Ev - Thank you!
bentonflocke - Digital is the way to go with those boys, I couldn't imagine paying for some of the shots of grass I took. ;)
ReplyDeleteSara G - Thanks!
He's good! Those action shots are nearly impossible to get - you did good too!
ReplyDeleteMari - I love my continous shooting mode! It comes in handy for pictures like this.
ReplyDeleteWell, I didn't see the other 200, but I think you did pretty darn good on this one! :)
