That is AWESOME! What's the story behind this? How'd you do it? Did you have your lens set at 28mm? Such a crisp photo. The baby's arms look like they're three feet long. Hilarious! Nice job.

Thanks for your comment and nice words, I really appreciate that. This was shot with a 15mm fish eye lens (about 17mm on my digital camera) I prefocused on his face and when he reached up to grab the camera I clicked the shutter. I used two Canon 550 EX flashes to light this as well, both bounced into umbrellas. The tricky thing was lighting these shots since I had to get so close to him to ge this shot I would sometmes be so close that not much light would reach him because I was blocking it. Trial and error, and some good old fashioned luck is all. :) Thanks again.

 

Warm Regards,

Great shot. I looks like the child has extended his arms to tale a self portrait. I have had to do this to come out in a pic when I travel alone. Very nice.

I'm gonna have to try this - sorry for the lack of originality on my behalf. A truly fantastic picture, an excellent representation of the inquisitive mind of a toddler! My hope my little girl will play ball....:-)

Haha! I like it, perfect caption too. :0)

Fantastic, like many of your ideas...
