Father & Son


We spent Thanksgiving elsewhere, and using the camera there didn't seem appropriate.  So, I had to think of what to do.  And while these two are almost always my trusty subjects, in all honesty, I couldn't think of a better way to capture gratitude.  So there's no turkey or fancy table or extended family.  All I wanted to do was portray gratitude that these two have for each other.  Not sure if I succeeded, but at least it got me to take out my camera and try.  I chose this spot near the window.  Daddy is in the light, the boy is not- so he's a bit shadowed.  There were many where both were illuminated to my liking, but this was my favorite expression.  I still need a lot more practice with wiggly toddlers.

I can't wait to see your photos. I hope you had better luck with the Thanksgiving theme!

Thanksgiving

Challenge: The theme is Thanksgiving and the technique is indoor lighting. Try to capture gratitude, if you can.
