M is for Maternity (I was lucky this month, getting to practice some maternity shots) I am going to check out a park tomorrow, to see if it is a good spot to take my Nephew and Neice for some maternity shots.  If I am successfu,l and it is okay with them, I may share).

Garageland, Love your shots, but I am really drawn to the guitarist.  Wonderful :)

helanker posted Thu, 17 July 2014 at 2:11 AM

HA! So did I....Maybe I could find something outside.

helanker posted Thu, 17 July 2014 at 2:28 AM

Nope, I found it inside... Here are MY **M**oleskines.

helanker posted Thu, 17 July 2014 at 2:35 AM

How about some Mustard.   Fun to see how the background and the perspective changes, after from which distance you take the shot. We also see it on Tour de France, when they suddently begin to zoom away from the riders. Fascinating.  Not that I am the least interested in Tour de France, but Hubby is. And the landscapes are amazing. ...BTW!  I love my little new Tizzy :-)

Hope I am not cheating by sending a dyptych, but I wanted to show the diff between the two shots.

Hi All,

I am going to be a bit late with the Forum Challenge for August.

Work, workshops and birthdays have caught me out and unprepared.

I apologise and should have it all up and running sometime on Saturday.
