PMAE No. 279

Summer is here. I gathered courage and asked their Dad if I could snap a few shots if I did not show the boys faces. He very nicely agreed. This is an IR processed via silver efex in Photoshop.

Lovely. It's always nice to see children like this rather than attached to phones and ipads!

[Clare Gadsby]

oh my. how brave! lovely absorption

[chikadnz]

Nice capture, well done for asking.

[Richard Sayer]

I keep threatening to get a camera converted for IR and pics like this tempt me to go ahead😀

@vignouse It is so worth it. Its the processing that gives me hiccups now and then.
@chikadnz Thank you so much. In this world we must be respectful of others.
@pistache The boys were just so happy to have Dad around to give them pointers.
@roachling It was. I'm going to have to stop by this pond more often. Its refreshing to see people not jibber jabbering while out in nature.

Lovely to see kids and parents having fun in the outdoors and not a phone in sight. IR? Mmm, don't tempt me.

[Taffy]

Totally charming -- well worth seeking permission to take this!

[M. Brutus]

Lovely shot. Quite timeless in black and white.

@golftragic The time spent at this pond was so relaxing. I enjoyed seeing the kids just be kids.
@taffy Thank you so very much. I need to gather courage more often.
@mbrutus It felt like a gift to watch them be, be just boys.

[Marnie]

@joysabin How wonderful.

[Catherine]

Well done for having the courage to ask. I like the way you have processed this and the composition has a real "Swallows and Amazons" feel!

[M. Brutus]

@joysabin I can imagine what you mean.

[Laura]

Lovely.

As above, a timeless photograph of children in summer. Lovely.
You were brave to ask, and I wish they could see this.

Wonderful shot and lighting.
