Default Birthday surprise

Guys, some of you may have realized I'm really not into portraits (no offense) .. We were up at my Niece & Nephew's little guy's 3rd yesterday .. I caught this series from 4 feet .. He plopped down and started chatting away with one of the friends little ones ..

How about if I play you a tune ..

099

It starts like this ..

102

this is the hard part ..

098

did you like it?

097

I'm with you Jack, I wish I was a better portrait photographer, but I'm more into Nature and what I call life photography.
I think what you have presented are called Candid shots. Which show people etc. in natural unposed conditions. But what do I know!!!
Any way, these are Great shots of a cute young man.
Thanks for sharing these
Chewys Dad.

Jack, it looks like great fun and you've caught some cute interaction. I like that just as well if not better than, a posed portrait with perfect lighting.

Thumbs up

The focus of these images is superb. When presented together these images tell a story. I like the last the best. I'm glad I joined DSP.

Ohhh, what a cute little boy and how nice of him to play a tune just for you. You did a great job jack. You don't do portraits, but you do do cute.

Jake.

Into it or not, those shots are priceless! The last one is just so touching. I think you did very well with these. They would make a great story board !
