Default Family

I haven't had a chance to drop by here in a while or to shoot much outside family events. Holiday season in Puerto Rico lasts until Three Kings Day on Jan. 6, and everything is busy and very crowded until today when everyone starts back to work. Now I can get back into the outdoor mode and shoot some shots.

Here are two of my (wannabe models) nieces... they are actually a lot of fun to shoot and we are planning some formal shoots in the near future.

Last Edit


Happy New Year

This is one of the few shots I have of my wife with her eyes actually open, along with a cousin. Luckily she's not into photography so she won't see this and fuss at me for posting her photo.

Nice shots, and nice family, Fred. I won't tell your wife you posted her picture, but she could be a model, too.

Hiyas Fred, just goes to show, if we can shoot flying raptors we can shoot anything !

Nice Portrait work Buddy , lovely models , nice poses.. can;t wait to see the formal shots !

You have a beautiful wife ! .. and she should get into photography, she'd have an excellent teacher

Now will you please get out and shoot some Nature shots that's not covered in snow, I need my FDCRP fix ! it's freezing up here, Prime and I are reduced to waterfowl and Deer... show us some Birds of Prey Bud !

Vin

Well, they're gorgeous Fred, you shouldn't have any problems with a shoot of them.

Thanks Vin, shooting them is a lot easier than shooting birds and such. I'll try to get you some Osprey shots at the end of the week. I need to shoot them quick as it's about time for them to move from the area. My close area is short on subjects at the moment, three Ospreys, the occasional Kestrel and a few flyovers of RTH but everything else is gone. Need to wait for the so called spring season here, but I honestly don't see season changes here, unless hot and hotter are changes.

Thanks Leona, good to have a chance to come around a little again. Shooting them will be more of me getting the lighting right, they will do their part well I'm sure.

Thanks Lindy, very familiar with your song although I still prefer Bing. I think it comes from growing up in a family that it was a tradition to watch White Christmas every year on Christmas Day for forty some years.
