What taking pictures with my boys actually looks like…

Most of the time I just show you the end result of my self portraits with my boys.

Here are some of the in between shots.

They are not good at waiting patiently…

Also, I probably have taken hundreds of shots of me walking into the shot.

“No, you need to go on this side…”

“Okay, no more stick.”

They started making crazy noises.

Me trying to figure out where I need to be to be in the shot.

Oops.

It still works, kind of.

Me trying to figure out if the boys are in the shot…

I thought they both should stand.

Nope.

Try again.

Focus was too low.

“Let’s make crying baby noises!”

Sometimes these goons just need to be tickled.

My youngest, “The mighty warriors have been defeated by tickling.”

Did that make you tired?

I shot these with my Nikon D600, 50mm lens, tripod, and the Interval Timer on the camera.

I could not find my remote…

Ha!

Beautiful, fluffy flakes

Soft flakes make for some yummy ice cream!

It is just Milk, Sugar, Vanilla, and Snow.

You should make some!

We hurried out the next morning to enjoy the snow before it melted!

I tried out a different angle for pics.

I sat at the top of the hill so the sun would act as a back light and next to a tree to frame the shots with branches.

You can see more of the clutter in our yard this way but I like backlit subjects.

I gave my camera to my oldest so I could get in a shot!

This goof had a hat on top of a jacket hood.

He said it was warmer that way.
