2014 "Lunch is Ready"!

Perfect timing and the detail, along with the b/w work, is superb of these two cute knee-knockers...  Mike

I react the same way when 'Lunch' is announced.  Why would I expect my Grandchildren to behave differently?  :-)  Good to get your opinion on this family favourite.  Best, LM.

Thanks for adding your take to this offering.  These are two of my favourite subjects.  Good timing is enhanced when your camera is set for 'continuous' shooting.  And B&W is a favourite of mine for people photos. (though I don't get anal about it).  :-)  Best, LM.

The laughter of children ... You have captured a beautiful moment, Len, to keep in the family album. I like the square format and composition.  The black and white is an excellent choice!

Kind Regards,

Rosario.

 Even without others' validation this one would be a favourite for the family album though it's always a bonus when others share my enthusiasm for a shot. The square format keeps the attention on the kids and not their surroundings.  Wouldn't want anything to compete with the joy on their faces.  See my bias for B&W in my answer to Mike, above.  This is the way I've printed it.  Thanks for your visit & observations.  Best, LM.

Love this!  I have yet to use the continuous focus feature on my camera. 

I was referring to 'Continuous' frame shooting but was probably in Continuous Focusing mode as well.  One allows a burst of frames (takes shots one after another as long as the shutter button is held down)  and the other allows the camera to continuously focus on moving subjects.  Thanks for your visit.  Best, LM.

Wonderful lighting and tones and a great capture of a moment, mood and so relaxing, Len!

Best regards

Relaxing?  Boy, it's plain to see you haven't spent a day trying to keep up with these two dynamos.  :-)  I do, however, agree with the rest of your statement.  I'm very pleased with the result.  Thanks for joining in on this discussion.  Best, LM.

Relaxing for a side watcher, like myself, who cares about those "involved in the situation", ha, ha, ha!

Cheers to that

Pure happiness and lovely smiley faces :) ... nice shot, thanks for sharing.

Cheers

Strange, isn't it?  When joy is shared there's more of it, not less.  :-)  Thanks for the visit.  Best, LM.

Hi Len,

   Wonderful capture of two beautiful happy kids.  This is one to treasure.  Those smiles would melt anyone's heart.  Take care, Patsy

Fodder for my D5100.  :-) And I get to see them at least once a week.  Bonus!  Thanks for your thoughts on this offering.  Best, LM.

Len:  You captured some great expressions showing a nice images. Good work.

Thanks for the positive review.  For as long as they have lived these guys have provided me with many opportunities for great family photos.  I'm truly blessed.  Best, LM.

A beautiful and lovely result, Len!

Thanks for your vote of confidence.  Best, LM.

Excellent well detailed and well timed shot! Framing and composition is perfect too (Any cropping?)  Very infectious smiles and the body language tells me they were ready for lunch!  Hope you managed to keep them entertained and well fed for the rest of the day : - ) 

Very well done Len! 

Best Regards 

Alf 

The response shows how genuine expression of joy and happiness can touch us all. Wonderful shot!

Sorry I missed your comments.  Must have been sleeping. :-(  Alf, cropped from horizontal colour original.

G&V, I love the spontaneity and naturalness of children.  Thanks to all for your comments.  Best, Len.
