Jordan P / Craig & Others,

Here is one of my little 5 week old Boy Mitch just after a feed of wholesome mothers milk. AAHHHHHH

F2.8 a bit of natural light & a bit of tungsten thrown in.

Hope you like.

Mic.

What a cutie Hope my wife Kim doesn't see this shot or she will start getting clucky again

5 weeks and how many months?

Yes I know Kipper,

Big Boofer isn't he, he is already 5Kgs.
He was 4 Kg's when he came out of the oven

OOoUUUCCHHHHHHHhhhhhh

Mic.

That wasn't what got me. It was the full set of hair!
My mates baby was 5kg out of the oven but he looked like a little baby.
Yours almost is like he's had a few months of childhood in your wifes tummy!

Probably said to himself "Meh, I'll skip all that baby stuff and come out when I'm ready"

Arrhh, yes

We couldn't believe it either, it even had blonde highlights through it just like he came from the Hairdressers.

Amazing, considering his old man is bald as a badgers bum

Must be from his GrandDad.

Mic.

Beautiful shot of a very satisfied child ..... and it was hand held at what sutter speed?

Cheers,

Thanks Craig,

It was pretty slow around 1/15 / 1/30th . I had a ledge to lean against which allowed me to keep it pretty sharp.

Mic.

Mic,

CONGRATULATIONS!!
love the image, reminds me alot like my 6 week old son (14th feb)! i have a photo of him wearing something similar and in a similar pose... very scary!! (ill have to try and dig it up)

Certainly a very nice lens!

He even has some hair like your son!!

here is one of him...



Your first child as well? Ive taken some nearly 500 odd images so far of my boy... a very new exciting subject!!

From one father to another... all the many blessings that follow fatherhood!

Gees Jdear,

Thanks for that, Nice shot too.
No I have a 17mth old little girl which is nearly blind from me flashing her ( with the Flash on my D70 that is )
At least now I can bounce with my SB800 to save my boys eyes.

Gees, are we SNAGS or what

Posting pics like this ( Where would you read about it )

In Sensitive New Age Guy Magazine I suppose.

Mic.

Well done on the baby pics and congratulations on the new arrival.

I hammered the daylights out of an old Pentax P30 when my first was born - I'm sure her first words were "Hurry up and take the damn picture Dad". The video camera also went everywhere with us and got thoroughly worn out in the process.

Number Two came along and I was sick of being behind the lens all the time so subsequently we got very few still or video memories of her apart from the first couple of months. Feel terrible admitting it but it's the truth. The good Lord did smite this Philistine however by having her grow up into a most photogenic little girl who can literally light up a page with her image. Needless to say - I've made up for my previous shortcomings and never miss an opportunity to photograph her.

Proud Dad? Naahh.
Proud Dad with well-used D70? You bet!!

Nice capture of that - just off the breast - expression Mic. I look just the same when I come off.

Thanks Manta
Yes I know what you mean with the second, luckily I've got a nice new 17-55 to keep me motivated & clicking away.

Greg B,

Haven't heard from you for a while, but as usual you come up with a pearler
I was showing my wife this thread and we both had a good chuckle
She said thats very rude but loved it at the same time

Very funny Greg. Couldn't agree more.

Mic.

mic,

snags indeed!

My son probably doesnt recognise my face at the moment, i seem to be always pointing this flashy thing in his face! (does anyone know the long term effects of continual flash photography with newborns???)

something to be said for a wife in lactation... but i wont say it on such a family forum as this

Proud Dad? Naahh.
Proud Dad with well-used D70? You bet!!

laughs! thats far too many blessings for one man!

JD

Mic

Nice looking kid, obviously takes after mother!
