I'm just wild about Harry

Grandsons are a barrel of laughs. We have three at the moment and they are so much fun. (Well, most of the time.) Junior is at the slithering/pre-crawling stage, and he just won't stay still for longer than a split second. Thankfully BW conversions help hide the occasional less than sharp image in a flash-less Fuji world. Thankfully expression trumps sharpness in a sharpness obsessed world.

Beautiful conversions to B&W. Were they done in-camera or with computer software?
Also, lovely pics....they have a film like quality about them.

Thanks Matt. Images processed with With Silver FX Pro.

I think the Fuji in-camera BWs are brilliant too. I need to figure out how to assign that function to a button so I don't have to dig through the menus to turn it on etc. I think it's possible to bracket shots with say Astia/Velvia/BW. I need to figure that out as well.

Good suggestion Gerry and we've tried all that. The little blighter doesn't look up when you're at his level!

The trouble is when he looks at my ugly mug, he turns the other way. I have this thing about unintentionally scaring people....

Lovely shots Ozi.
The first is a cracker. Thank you.

First is the winner for me Ozi - don't mind the second either

3,1 & 2 for me, in this order. 3 because of Harry's smile, 1 and 2 because of the perspectives the pictures were taken.

Very true Gerry, but at least you still got the shot. There's millions of professional photos out there, perfectly focussed, but expressionless, which for me kills the image.
