105/365 # My best David Bellamy impression
Today we visited my great pal Jon and his family for Jon's son Ethan's fifth birthday.
Jon has a Flickr account and you can check out his photostream here.
We went straight to Jon's house from work so I'm pretty tired! It was a looooong day at work today.
We had a good time though, Ethan's a cheeky little monkey (just like his dad) but has a heart of gold (just like his dad) and he's a lovely kid.
I took this shot just after we arrived. It's come out better than I thought it had but the idea was to have my face in focus and the branch in front of me blurry. As you can see it didn't turn out that way, but it's the best I had today so will have to do. As I said, it's come out better than I thought - viewing it in through the LCD screen on the camera my face looked even blurrier so I'm not going to complain too much.
There's not a lot of post-processing, I upped the exposure slightly, adjusted the temperature and vibrance a bit and added the vignette but it came out of the camera pretty good apart from the issues with the focus.
Hey ho, tomorrow's another day and I'll have another chance to get it right.
