4.20 pm: This photo looks sort of staged but isn't. Our younger daughter, who used to be a very fast walker (she never actually walked but always ran) has been walking excruciatingly slow lately. She also grinds to a halt whenever she sees something interesting, which is all the time.
The photo was taken at the far end of our street, where she stood for several minutes studying a fence.
Stunning shot. I can imagine this as part of a glossy magazine spread. My three-year-old is the same; a 10 minute walk takes an hour as she is so fascinated by everything she sees! It's good though, it encourages us grown ups to slow down a bit!
love the patterns in the brickwork and pavement and your daughter looks so cute! My daughter at that age only had two speeds - stop and very fast in the wrong direction!
Oh, do I ever remember this. But I love how she seems to have learned from you to really look. love the bricks and how you captured your lovely daughter
I love it!!! And I love it even more when I saw that the camera that took this marvellous composition is a power shot G12... I just bought one... will be receiving probably this next wednesday.
@carrapeta00 Thanks :) I bought my G12 in June last year, and before that I had the similar G10. My entire project is shot with either of these cameras, it has a lot of opportunities!
let me ask you a question about the camera I was not able to find an answer... if you set the self timer shutter realease, can you customize that I set for 30 second multiple pictures for example?
I had an old powershot that had that option and it was the best to make my yoga selfies... hopefully this g12 can also do that. Can you kill my curiosity? Thank you.
@carrapeta00 Yes, that's possible. You can customize the G12 self timer shutter release to anything between 1-30 seconds and 1-10 pictures. It really is a lovely camera :)
fav'd and following- Judith , I too was the kind of kid that took forever to take a walk- I would have to stop and look at every little acorn, insect, leaf, cows on a hill, etc. I don't know how old your daughter is- maybe 3 or 4 I suspect but have your ever thought about giving her a little digital camera and see what she comes up with. I know there are inexpensive cameras for kids- around $39.oo or so- I would love to see what she sees.
Great proportions. Love the play of brick and pavement, of round and square windows - and large building vs tiny girl....and the pop of her pink hat against the drab colours behind. AWESOME!
and I bet you love them ;)
