Weekly Winners #6

Posted By: Adam 16 Comments
There are a lot of photos I took this week that I like a lot, so hopefully you don't mind me going a little nuts here. My Nephew with my Father In Law, Christmas morning.

Grandpa and David

My Mother In Law reading to my Niece, Christmas Morning.

I spent a lot of time this week working on my manual-focus skillz. You can't always count on auto-focus to get exactly what you want within a second or two, so you need to be ready to flip into manual focus and grab that odd shot before it disappears. (Not that the screen was going anywhere…)

This week Moxie joined the ranks of the Sith. Word around the water-cooler is that they have better dental and vision coverage.

Lord Moxie is displeased

Meanwhile, Ollie got something new to climb on… and won't even get squirted with the water gun for it!

You mean I can climb up here and you won't yell at me?

Megan took this final picture, so I can't take credit for it… but it definitely deserves some attention! Good job, Peanut!

I get a present?!

  5. ROFL! The Sith commentary made me laugh. My husband is a huge Star Wars aficionado.

    Your dog is beautiful! I miss having a big dog around the house... :(

    And your nephew is too cute!

    Yay for kitty getting something to climb on! Heaven knows they all need at least one thing. Hopefully, though, it won't become the... you give them an inch, and they take a mile... kind of thing.

  7. Wow, great photos! I love them all.

    You use some really interesting perspectives, and tell a story with every one (ok, I'm not sure what the screen story is...but it's interesting! lol).

    Megan has obviously got the gene, too.

    I think Peanut is following in Mum's footsteps in photography skills.
    Amazing.

  11. Those are terrific photos. I love the shot of the book, and my husband (and me too) thought the Sith photo was very funny. The last photo of the dog is really terrific.

  14. I agree that you pictures are really just stunning. There are shots like the one I take (some lucky, some not), and then there are ones like these that look totally professional. What a cute family - animals included!
