I’m Gunna Hug You Like A Big Bear! RUOAAAR!
A father has some fun with his youngest child, wrestling with her and giving her a big hug. I’m not sure, but the Father looks a lot like Justin Norris who is a very famous local Swimmer – a Dual Olympian, Olympic Medalist and Triple Commonwealth Gold Medalist. His young kids where both very Brave little skaters – dropping into the shallow end and then turning high up the on the 13 foot high deep end.
The shot was taken with a Canon 450D and a standard Canon 55 – 250 mm lens set at:
F-stop: f/5
Exposure time: 1/1600 sec
ISO speed: ISO-400
Exposure bias: -0.3 step
Focal length: 131 mm
WB: Sunny
Shutter Priority Mode
Hand Held
I became interested in Digital Photography when I got my first Digital Camera in 2004. Photography has grown into a real passion over the last few years as I have learned more and my skills have progressed. Buying a digital SLR in 2009 opened up a whole new world of Photographic possibilities that has substantially increased my interest and devotion to the craft.

It was a little candid moment I spotted while I was waiting for the next skater to ride the Bowl and I just had to catch it Pronto! :)

aw that’s so sweet James, a lovely capture! …i wonder if it is Justin Norris!?
He used to live across the other side of the Harbour in a place called Stockton – maybe he still does? It’s only a 15 – 20 minute drive to this bowl from there, so it might be him. I’ll ask him next time I’m there.
I got two shots and they were really similar but this one seemed just a Tad better for the poses. Thanks again for your support and your great attitude. :-)

A fantastic candid moment !!! ☺♥
Thanks a lot! :-)x There would have been stacks of Candid opportunities all afternoon, but I really concentrated on action shots nearly the whole time.
