spinning kid... always

    papa, je veux faire l'avion!!!! and it always ends like that... look at his face, he really enjoys now!!! :D

    how I did it? fairly simple if you're big enough not to collapse. Take a friend on your back, with his arms around your neck, holding the kid. You get up, lifting everyone... and then, the funny part... you start spinning and, with your 2 free hands, you shoot!!!

    more pieces of advice, in case your back is weak: use the time program, set it between 1/30 - 1/50 of a second, place yourself in the shade of a tree (not too close!!!! poor little and shortened guy!) to avoid over exposure. you can use the rapid capture mode.

    If you feel like trying this, please let me know the outcome! - thanks!

      You did it again. Nice job.
      Which one do you prefer?
      I think the original has more of an impact.
      Both are great though.

      thank you garreyf!
      to be honest, I like the first one better... on this one, the light is much to hard... I think I should have done it under a tree... but I like his smile, I like to see the hands... and the kid's shadow is just great... I'm not done with this kind of pictures. It has more to deal with luck than anything else, but I like it! :D
