Eyes wide shut - Summer Fun Down Under

Top Ten Finish – 2nd place – Family Unlimited Challenge – Pool June 09
Top Ten Finish – Good News Group – Water Play (babies, people and animals) November 09

Seeing so many great winter shots from the Northern Hemisphere I had to remind myself that our summers – while hot – bring some great moments too. My son-in-law and granddaughter have a quick impromptu cool off frolic in my backyard pool. Leaping in and landing into dad’s safe arms. However it would be a good idea if he kept his eyes open! ..Hmm.
ps I am actually now remembering to keep my battery charged!
Nikon D90 with my Nikkor Micro 60mm … I think on Sports Mode.

    the fast shutter speed has captured the “splash” very well Judy…and yes always great idea to have batteries charged – well best to have a second fully charged battery in the camera bag.

    Must admit there were a few attempts … the airbourne shots were hilarious but not quite so clear. Thanks for the visit and lovely comment.

    What a lovely action-summer catch :)

  • chijude replied

    You can understand why visits from my grandchildren have increased dramatically during our heatwave!! It has been a lot of fun to see them frolic and provide opportunities for me to practice by ‘action’ shots!. Thank you for dropping by.

    mmmm, nearly missed this one, but you didn’t. Well done. Check the settings and see “why” it worked. With the kids in the pool again today, suggest review what you are doing. Fast shutter speed, keep ISO on 50. You should be able to get some awesome shots. Check DOF as well. Take photos (various settings), download, review and then repeat. Go for it girl.

  • chijude replied

    Yesterday was hilarious. I kept cutting off either heads or feet.

    Keep at it, for every 100 shots, there could be 1 ripper

    Thank you!! It was very noisy! By the way Ashleigh has since the photo swum the full length of the pool. She is very proud of herself.
