Some fondue fun.....

Comments and critique more than welcome....



cheers

Great sequence of shots Xerebus. Love the last one - it tells a story on its own.
What lens and what sort of lighting did you use? Imagine it would be something like the 50mm with the SB800 to get that last one.
I love the top down look - I find it really opens up the face. One of the advantages of shooting kids is often you don't need anything except standing up to get that sort of shot.

I like it Mark...

It's a portrait with a built-in story...
Not sure about the title though - I was expecting something very different...

My only suggestion for improvement would be to slightly zoom & crop the second one to make the size of his head more consistent between the 3 panels of the triptych...

I'm on record elsewhere as not being a big fan of kiddie pics, but I have to say the last of the three is superb. You've nailed the shot at just the right moment where your son(?) has such a superb expression that speaks volumes.

Mark - nice sequence and the chocolate looks like I might have to pop up the road - uuummmhhh

Good shots all, Mark, but I like the first one the best. Wish you'd gotten all of the lovely lady's face in it though. It's a terrific candid.

Great sequence Mark, kids, the do the derndest things....the choc on the nose is priceless. You don't get this stuff at Pixifotos!

Nice sequence and works well in B&W

Are fondu (plural?) making a comeback?

Gecko

thankyou everyone for the comments... much appreciated as usual....


joolz - thanks.... used the 70-200 VR and the SB800 bounced off the ceiling...

leek - never noticed that with the centre frame and the size comparison.. but now it stands out clear as day! thanks...

stubbsy - yes.. my youngest son.... and a very lucky moment to capture

sirhc55 - very nice chocolate

KerryPierce - thanks for the comments... much appreciated. A very lucky candid....

ozimax - exactly!!

gecko - not sure if it's a comeback or not... we hadn't had fondue (sp?) for a long time and decided we'd bring it out and let some kids have some fun with fruit and chocolate...

Ahh, explains the lovely bokeh. How did you manage to shoot that indoors to get that last image from above? I struggle with my 80-200 indoors. I guess the 70-200VR has a closer minimum focal length.
