We have a two-word mantra at our house: tennis scholarship. I hope we're not starting her too late...
It's with joy and a sense of childlike awe and excitement that I'm learning to use my new camera - especially practising with Pixy as my subject!
This photo was taken using my new Canon EOS 5D and the Canon 50mm F/1.4 lens. The lighting was soft daylight mixed with halogen lamp light. No flash today ... because Pixy looked at the flash set up yesterday morning and ran away! He's either frightened by the umbrella on the stand (after accidentally knocking it over when I left it and him unsupervised a few days ago) or he has learnt to associate it with the bright, annoying light from the flash. Whatever the reason, I plan to proceed with caution so that he doesn't become "flash phobic". He is definitely the one in charge when we have a photography session!
After studying this image I realise that I could have improved it by using flash light to illuminate behind Pixy. This wouldn't have bothered him. (Also I think I prefer colours brigher and more vibrant than yellow around him.)

Evan, practicing his talking ("dadadada") and his scooting/crawling position. He kind of rotated himself to face me better over the course of a few minutes while I was taking pictures of him.

Someone practices while another looks intrigued. One of the adults attacked a cormorant. They brought back small prey for the kids.
