She’ll Do Anything, My Mother In Law

Bev Oakley, mother of my beloved, isn’t what you’d call the shy and retiring type.

 

Nikon D300, Nikon 18-200mm VR lens at 75mm, 1/800 sec at f 5.0, ISO 200, hand held no flash.

This photo isn’t so flattering to Bev, who is actually a lot better looking than that. It gives us all a viewing angle which was previously only available to her husband John. The pic was taken at Skeggy (Skegness to posh people), a seaside town on the north Lincolnshire coast which gets a bad press, but which is actually one of Britain’s great fun places to be. I may have to delete this one when Bev sees it, so get it quick…

Here’s Bev looking a bit more serene…

Nikon D300, Nikon 50mm f 1.8 prime lens, 1/125 sec at f 1.8, ISO 200, hand held no flash. Slightly sharpened in Paint Shop Pro, and yes I know the highlights are blown to bits by the sunny window on the right hand side, but who’s bothered?
