Very Hungry Caterpillar Hat


Photo-A-Day #3332

Allison has been working on a hat for our friend’s baby boy. His first birthday is coming up and she made him an adorable Very Hungry Caterpillar hat. The very same Very Hungry Caterpillar from the Eric Carle books. We wanted to get some shots of the hat so we had Andrew model it. the thing is, Andrew is not a cooperative model. As soon as he sees the camera he turns away. He is most unhelpful in that aspect. My new NXMini has a kid’s mode and with it there is sound. When I push the shutter button a silly sound is made which should cause a child to turn and look. Then the camera takes a series of 5 photos. The thing is, Andrew doesn’t turn to the noise and after the camera does the 5 shots he laughs at that sound, more maybe he’s just laughing at my frustration.

Today was Eva’s dance recital photo night. While I couldn’t take any photos of Eva while she was on the backdrop I went and took photos of her in the back of the room. I was using the NX300 with the 30mm lens. At the exact moment that I took this photo the flashes from the photographer went off and I got this really light looking photo. One the camera I didn’t exactly like ti but when I looked at it on computer I was blown away by it and the photo made me immediately think about Eva’s Wedding Day.

I am so blessed to have this sweet little girl in my life. She looks beautiful in her ballet costume and I can’t wait to see her perform her dance in a couple of weeks. Continue reading Dance Recital Photos
