Mama's birthday at the park





Click to enlarge. I just love the mood conveyed against the setting sun. The more I look at this photo, the more I see: Callum's hand signing, Reuben's hair aflame with the sun and the stark contrast of his curls with Callum's lack of hair, the sand detail in the foreground, the asymmetry of the vertical lines in the foreground and background fences, the contrasting colours of bronze and blue, the ocean barely visible along the horizon, the sun itself. I'm very bad at printing shots, but this I want on my wall. It conjures up so many positive emotions for me.






Two little swan curls on Reuben's head

Photo tip: Ignore the rules of photography and shoot into the sun for great silhouettes

OK, OK, that was the last birthday post for me.  Callum's party still to do though...
