Kids...beautiful, candid, kids... :-)

[Charles Hess]

I was expecting to take some shots of visitors coming in to my workplace in their pajamas, for a Sleep-Over weekend promo in area hotels. Also happening was Build-A-Bear and their mascot, Bearemy, for the kids. Guess where I spent most of my time. :-)

#1...little cutie trying to decide which bear she wanted while mom was filling out a form for a drawing later in the day(she didn't win, sadly). D100 80-200/2.8

#2 Next one was at a table where kids could color Bearemy and keep the crayons.
Same equipment.

#3 Bottom: my boss's little girl, all tuckered out from the excitement
Contax G2 Zeiss 90/2.8 Delta 100

As always, thanks for looking.

Wonderful, beautiful shots Charles. The colors and composition are great.
I wonder if you had as much fun as the kids. (I'm betting you did)
As usual, fantastic pictures.

I love your photos of the "real life"

You capture the spirit along with the image.....as always.

Somehow this thread didn't come up on my screen as new (no bold - no open letter) as sometimes happens on my pc for some reason. I'll tell PJ next week.

Hi Charles

Can you share any of the settings or if you used fill flash on the B&W picture. Was this natural light or window light? You just can't post such a great picture for us and not brake it down.

Always a fan

[Charles Hess]

Settings...this was taken at my workplace, which is perfect for portraits...60' walls of glass on 2 sides of the lobby, tons of light, even on cloudy days. no flash, no nothing, just f/5.6 in aper priority mode, composed and pressed the shutter. Thanks for the compliment.

[Charles Hess]

Hi Liz...I've sure missed seeing you around here the past number of days, hope you are doing OK. I'll email you. Take care.
