Airborne!

My fall weekends are generally spent ferrying the kids from one sport to the next... today two of my boys had flag football... the blond kid with the flying hair and his feet off the ground would be mine ;p

The kewl thing about this photo is that apart from crop and straightening in post, it is SOOC... i used Jeff's (@jsw0109) idea to adjust sharpness (+4), contrast (+2) and saturation (+1) IN the camera, and didn't touch them in post processing :)

In my other album is a bit of silliness as I try to come up with ideas to meet my push challenge of a water splash shot this week:

Thanks for all the lovely comments on my back alley shots from yesterday... I found it so interesting to read why different folks prefer different approaches to the processing of that image, and why!

@jsw0109 - not entirely SOOC because of crop and straightening, so not tagging for CSC... but did want to thank you for steering me to the in camera processing settings which netted me these gorgeous colours without the need for tweaking!

Nice action shot! And your son really got some height on that jump!

[Cathy Donohoue]

What a cute kid.

Excellent focus and capture in action! Funny as I spent the afternoon playing with camera settings for Jeff's challenger too...nothing to post yet :)

[Michael Elliott]

Nice action capture. We used to do same but now our 3 boys are older so I got weekends free .... And don't know what to do with myself half the time :) enjoy it!

[David]

Like mother, like son? (I'm guessing of course!) Great shot, yet again with framing directing our eyes to where you want them go.

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Cool action! Love it!

[davide]

great action! love the focus on the grass against the blurred green in the distance!

[Lisa Pouncy]

Fantastic shot and I think it qualifies for SOOC xx

Pretty cool action sports shot. You captured a great pose and expression.

Love this, amazing contrast for SOOC. Love your street shots, but it is also nice to see your family stuff

[ladyjane]

Great action capture! Lovely colour and contrast - very impressive for being SOOC.

[Chris]

Beautiful action shot!

[Robyn]

Sure looks great with your in camera adjustments. I haven't ever tried that (other than exposure adjustments).

[Caryn]

Wow! Very cool. I can't find a place to make this adjustments in my Nikon cameras.

[Humphrey Hippo]

Love all the energy!

[Lesley Chisholm]

Great action shot. I've never heard of flag football! We spend a lot of time ferrying kids to sports too, but most of it is during the week...
