Spaghetti and Freckles

Devon, after a demanding battle with a plate of spaghetti bolognese one Saturday lunchtime:

Nikon D300, Nikon 50mm f1.8 prime lens, 1/125 at f 4, ISO 500, hand held no flash. He’s probably going to hate his freckles as he gets older, but they make him incredibly photogenic. The spaghetti sauce on his shirt front matched his hair. I tried to show him the fork-circularmotion-spoon technique, but he quickly lost patience with it. Venue: Ask Italian restaurant in Stamford, Lincs, our home town. I worked hard on this one in Lightroom – vignette, colours, exposure – and I think it really shows. Happy with this picture.

Bev Eats A Banana

Our favourite Londoner, Karen, came up to Stamford to see us today:

 

Nikon D300, Nikon 100mm f2.8E prime lens, f 3, 1/500 sec  at ISO 400, hand held no flash. She’s a lovely person and it’s always a good day when she comes around. Karen, Marie and Marie’s Mum, Bev, were discussing the right way to eat a banana.

Bev showed them a technique she learnt when she was 14:

Nikon D300, Nikon 100mm f2.8E prime lens, f 3, 1/640 sec  at ISO 400, hand held no flash.

I left them to their conversation soon afterwards
