Here is another one from an early morning shoot
in Fremantle last month.
This photo was taken from almost the same angle as
this photo,
but incorporating the silhouette of my younger son, Nicholas, as well as his reflection
in the puddle.

Taken during an early morning photowalk in Fremantle on Saturday, I only noticed the
sun reflecting off a puddle between Brad's legs afterwards...
the sun shines out of where?!

I like silhouettes, and with an early morning sun low in the sky,
I took the opportunity to take some photos of my children
with the sun directly behind them.
Here's one of my youngest son, taken in South Perth a
couple of weeks ago.

This is Michael, the son of some friends of ours, taken in January last year,
when he was about 10 months old.
As is clear from his facial expression, he wasn't too keen about being
in the bath!
The colour of the wall and the lighting give this photo a very retro 70s look,
and in fact, the location,
Camp Leschenaultia,
probably was built in the 1970s.

Sunset is one of my favourite times of the day to take photos,
and including a silhouette against the great sunset colours in the sky
can make for an interesting photo.
This silhouette is of my wife holding our youngest daughter Samantha, at Fremantle,
when my daughter was about 6 months old.

One of my colleagues will be spending her last day in our office tomorrow,
as she's off to our Adelaide office for six months or more.
She'll be missed, and our corner of the office will definitely be a quieter place without her ;-)
Here's a shot of her, taken at a local Japanese restaurant earlier this week.

Some good friends wanted some family photos, so they came around
for a cuppa, and we spent a few minutes in our back yard with the camera.
Here's a photo of their son, Michael.
Even though he is in the full sun, the background is suitably
darkened to ensure it's not too distracting, and the fill flash helps to reduce
the harsh shadows from the bright sun.
A duo-tone conversion on this photo, as well as some vignetting, provides
a result that draws the viewer's eyes to his face.

I was shooting in aperture priority,
with exposure compensation adjusted down 2/3 of a stop to under-expose the background.
To provide some fill light, I had a Canon 430EX flash on the camera,
with the flash in TTL mode, also adjusted down 2/3 of a stop.
With the shutter speed being faster than the maximum flash sync speed of 1/250,
I had to put the flash into high-speed sync mode.

I like taking photos of silhouettes, particularly if the silhouetted person is
doing something that's quite recognisable and/or easily recognisable.
I've taken photos of photographer silhouettes
before, and last week Thursday's
photoshoot in South Perth
provided another opportunity
to get some shots of
Bas, one of the other photographers
who had joined us.

Over the last few months, I've blogged a few photos of my youngest daughter, Samantha,
but my other three children have rarely made an appearance on my blog.
Here's some photos of the other three, taken in the back yard a couple of weeks ago.
