The Biggest Blue Eyes

People comment on Holly’s eyes absolutely every time… they’re very big. Here’s a close-up:

Nikon D3S, Nikon 24-70mm f 2.8 lens at 66mm, 1/1600 at f 4.0, ISO 400, hand held no flash. The 24-70 is one sharp lens for sure. Makes a nice change to use the D3s with plenty of light around, too. Since I got it, it’s been almost all low-light shooting.

We were waiting for Mum to return from what proved to be a fruitless trip to Next (aka our third home), and Holly was lying in her car seat, shielded from the bright sun by one of those car sun screens stuck on the window. Yes, before you get all Health & Safety on me, this wasn’t direct sunlight, and it was filtered enough to enable Holly to look around without squinting – but as you can see in the picture above, I could capture with amazing clarity her lovely big baby blues.

Note the start of a big old moustache, too.

And yes it’s official, butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth:

I believe we’ll be seeing more of this expression over the years, usually after the loud noise of something breaking.
