Candid Camera - Ghetto Pool Edition

July 13, 2009

On Saturday, while I was being mom/lifeguard for Troy in our ghetto pool on the back deck, I decided to take a few pictures of Troy trying different settings on my fancy point and shoot camera.

I spent the rest of the weekend editing the photos and reading more about photoshop actions and free downloads. I'm also trying to understand aperture priority and took Stacie's photo assignment to try that setting as well.

Here are a few of my favorites.

They're all great--esp the first and last I think. It's crazy how much he looks like you. Even the expressions--#4 is totally you. Very nice pics.

p.s. I hate to tell you, but savvy has 2 v's in it. :/

-->Thanks Jen! I think he looks like me a lot when he's happy and like Tim when he's upset. HA!

Yes, I know there are two "v's" in savvy but I started over a year ago with it misspelled so I just rolled with it. I figure it's the internet, I can bend the rules.

#1 is priceless, but I am biassed towards black and white photography.

Number 1 is my favourite! So nice! And I love number 7, too! Great shots!

The first one because it so perfectly captures the magic of the moment, the joy, the water, the child.

Following you from MBClub.

You have a good eye for photography.

Keep up the good work.

Great pics! Thanks for sharing! I love the one with his serious face leaning on the edge of the pool. All of the pics are so crisp, especially the one with the water droplets in air. I hope to someday be able to capture shots like that.

I think it's so cool that so many people have different favorites. I love #7 and #3 the best. There's something about each of those that caught my eye.

He is so cute. And I just LOVE your ghetto pool! He totally RoCkS that pool! : ) My favorite is the last one because I can see his adorable little face and cheeks so clearly: )
