My 3 daughters and their activities

[pjflan7]

Here is an assortment of pics taken over the last several days

Here is my youngest who is sipping a chocolate milk and munching on a burger during a break at the park



Mandy is hiding behind a rather large leaf



Brianna, my oldest daughter, saves a shot in her volleyball practice...game day tomorrow



I thought Mandy's shoes were cool looking and they were at eye level on the playground equipment.......so....it was a photo op!

Your youngest looks in need of a cold drink, her cheeks are so rosy. She must have been playing hard, mine would be . I love the leaf in #2, too cute. I love how her eyes are just peaking over the top. The action in great in #3, reminds me of being in high school myself and playing volleyball. I used to love it. And in #4, those are some very cool shoes. Love the pink laces, my girls would also love them. Thanks for sharing more of your beautiful family.

Nice shots of your girls and their activities, I'll bet they keep you hopping! My favorite is the shot of the shoes with the pink shoelaces.

Great shot of the sneaks! Also impressive is the clarity of the volleyball shot in, what I am sure was difficult lighting conditions, to be able to freeze the action. Good variety of great shots.

Hi Michelle, played volleyball in your time huh? Brianna loves it....we homeschool but this a homeschool coop team and plays against all of the Christian schools in our area and a few out of town schools as well. She really enjoys it......She plays JV and varsity.

yes, they keep me from actually getting out and going to places where I want to shoot.....gotta be involved in shuttling, watching, baby sitting, cooking, read and put to bed........so the lunchtime photographer is my current moniker!

It was one of the very few that I would post here. Most are a bit too blurred.....but God knows that I tried! I pushed everything to the limit......The highest shutter was 1/40 for a good well light shot, 1/80th for a dark shot....iso sometimes at 800 others at 1600. Didn't seem to make a whole lot of difference as far as freezing motion...neither setting was doing it well. biggest aperture I could get was 5.6......major problem there....If I had a 50mm 1.8, it would have gone better....subjects further out but freeze action better.....oh well, you do what you can with what you got!

We homeschool also Patrick! You are lucky to have the sports team option. We are still searching for something like these here that they can participate in. Really fantastic!
