I've got some time off at the mo, so i'm spending most of it with my son to try and avoid the jealousy a new baby brings. The camera has been with us most of the time, even though he hasn't been in front of it much (he's getting fed up with seeing a huge lens, and not his dads face)
Anyway, he're a few from our adventures. |

A great bunch of shots Liquid but its the penultimate one of you and the wee man that sums up what its all about.
Makes me look forward to the day I might become a Dad.

Great shots again Liquid. The last one is especially nice with the shallow depth of field giving it an almost 3D feel.

Great set there
The first third and the last... are standouts for me 
Also rather impressive is the absence of a beach and pebbles!  (Oh... and sheep!)

Loving that first one Sir. What was the exposure time on it, you always seem to get that bang on!

#5 is a lovely pic - quite poignant at he's riding away from you though. Hopefully not too symbolic....

Love #2. Nice and moody with a great sky. Magazine/advertisment stuff imo.
Did you decide to take the one of Dylan on his bike while you were standing this time after you nearly disasterous last attempt?

Thanks for all the comments |
